The XtendLan VALUE S/FTP Patch Cord Cat.6a RJ-45 Grey 3 m is a reliable network cable designed for high-speed data transmission in home and office environments. With a length of 3 meters, this patch cord connects network devices such as computers, switches, routers, and patch panels efficiently. It supports data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of 500 MHz, ensuring stable and fast communication across your local network infrastructure.
Advantages
This network cable features S/FTP shielding, which combines aluminium foil pair shielding with an overall braided shield to provide excellent protection against electromagnetic interference and signal loss. The construction includes 8 lines with impedance of 100 Ohm and contact settings 1:1 in accordance with the EIA/TIA 568 standard. Moulded kink protection enhances durability, while the flexible cable design allows for narrow bending without compromising performance.
Suitable for
- Connecting computers to network switches or routers
- High-speed Ethernet networking in homes and offices
- Structured shielded Cat.6a cabling systems
- Data transfer applications requiring up to 10 Gbit/s bandwidth
When it may not be suitable
This patch cord may not be suitable for outdoor installations or industrial environments exposed to extreme weather conditions, moisture, or heavy mechanical stress. Additionally, the 3-meter length is intended for short-distance connections and will not be sufficient for bridging rooms or connecting devices separated by long distances.
Key specifications
- Cable length: 3 m
- Cable standard: Cat6a
- Cable shielding: S/FTP (S-STP) with PiMF and braided shielding
- Connector type: RJ-45 male on both ends
- Bandwidth: 500 MHz
- Data transfer rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
- Impedance: 100 Ohm
- Colour: Grey
How to use
Insert the RJ-45 connector on either end of the patch cord into the network port of your device, such as a computer, network printer, or IP camera, and plug the opposite end into a network switch, router, or wall outlet until a secure click is heard. Ensure the cable is routed safely along walls or through cable management trays, avoiding sharp bends beyond the manufacturer's recommendations and preventing tension on the connectors to maintain a stable network connection.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 3-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection distance between devices
- Confirm that your network equipment supports Cat6a standards and RJ-45 connections
- Check whether shielded S/FTP cabling is required for your network environment to prevent electromagnetic interference
Ensure proper cable routing and avoid excessive pulling or sharp corner bending to maintain optimal signal integrity and extend the lifespan of your network connections.
