Dexlan networking cable 858725 3 m Cat6a S/FTP Blue

The Dexlan networking cable 858725 3 m Cat6a S/FTP Blue is a 3-meter Ethernet cable designed to meet Cat6a performance requirements. It uses S/FTP shielding to provide improved protection against electromagnetic and crosstalk interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors for straightforward connection to switches, routers, network cards and patch panels. The blue jacket provides a clear visual identifier for cabling runs in residential and commercial installations.

Advantages

S/FTP construction combines an overall braided shield with individual foil shielding around each twisted pair, reducing external interference and improving signal integrity at higher data rates. The cable’s Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth than previous categories, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the 3 m length. RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard network ports, and the 3-meter length offers flexibility for desk, rack or equipment-to-equipment connections without excess slack.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring firm insertion until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and areas with strong electromagnetic sources where possible. For rack installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management hardware to prevent strain on the connectors and maintain signal performance. No special tools are required for normal use, as the cable is factory-terminated.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and maintain bend radii recommended for Cat6a cabling. Use shielded patch panels or connectors if integrating the cable into shielded structured cabling to preserve the benefits of S/FTP construction.
