EXSYS Cat. 6 SSTP/PiMF Patch Cable, Grey, 3.0 m (EX-K6181-3)

Network downtime and slow transfers often come down to one weak link: the patch cable. The EXSYS EX-K6181-3 eliminates that bottleneck with a fully shielded Cat. 6 SSTP/PiMF construction, delivering reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet over 3 meters. Each of the four twisted pairs is individually wrapped in metal foil (PiMF), and the entire bundle is protected by an overall braided shield (SSTP). This dual-layer shielding blocks electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, so your data arrives intact even in cable-dense server rooms or industrial environments.

Who is it for

IT administrators, network engineers, and demanding home users who need a robust, high-speed link for 10GBASE-T connections. It is ideal for connecting switches, routers, servers, NAS devices, and workstations where signal integrity is critical.

Tips

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius. When routing near power lines, maintain at least 30 cm separation to preserve the shielding effectiveness. Use this cable in conjunction with shielded patch panels and equipment to maintain a continuous ground path.
