EXERTIS CONNECT Cat 6A S/FTP Patch Cable, 3 m, Grey, LSZH, Slim Strain Relief, 10 Gbps 858407

Network downtime and slow data transfer can cripple productivity in modern offices and data centers. The EXERTIS CONNECT Cat 6A S/FTP Patch Cable eliminates these bottlenecks by delivering reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance with superior shielding against electromagnetic interference. Its 3-meter length provides flexible connectivity between servers, switches, patch panels, and workstations, while the slim strain relief ensures a secure fit even in high-density patch fields.

Who is it for

This patch cable is ideal for IT professionals, network administrators, and businesses that demand high-speed, stable connections for bandwidth-intensive applications such as large file transfers, video conferencing, and cloud computing. It is also suitable for home users with advanced networking needs, including gamers and content creators who require low latency and consistent throughput.

Main features

• Cat 6A performance: Supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps and bandwidth up to 500 MHz, ensuring future-proof network infrastructure.
• S/FTP shielding: Each twisted pair is individually wrapped in metal foil (PiMF) plus an overall braided shield, providing excellent protection against alien crosstalk and EMI.
• High-quality connectors: Gold-plated RJ45 plugs with 50 µm contact plating for corrosion resistance and reliable signal integrity.
• Durable LSZH jacket: Low Smoke Zero Halogen material reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire, making it safe for enclosed spaces.
• Slim strain relief: The particularly narrow boot design allows easy installation in high-density patch panels without blocking adjacent ports.
• PoE compatible: Supports Power over Ethernet up to PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt), enabling data and power delivery over a single cable.
• Flexible stranded copper conductors: 26 AWG stranded copper ensures easy routing and resistance to breakage from repeated bending.

Tips

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius of approximately 4 times the cable diameter. When connecting in high-density environments, the slim strain relief allows you to utilize every port without interference. To maintain signal integrity, keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference, such as power lines and fluorescent lighting.
