InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6 250MHz PVC copper red 3m

InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6 250MHz PVC copper red 3m is a Category 6 twisted-pair network cable designed for connecting network components with RJ45 ports, including switches, routers, wall sockets, patch panels and network cards. The 3 m cable uses S/FTP (screened foil twisted pair with overall braid) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and supports Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 250 MHz. The PVC jacket provides mechanical protection and the red colour helps with visible cable identification.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF shielding construction limits crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity for Gigabit connections. With Cat.6 specification and 250 MHz rating, the cable is suitable for high-speed LAN environments. The 3 m length covers common patching distances in racks and workstations, while the PVC outer sheath offers durability. The red colour aids in organisation and quick visual identification in cable runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network cards
• Patching between wall sockets and patch panels
• Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) local area networks
• Structured cabling where visual cable identification is required

How to use

Terminate each end of the patch cable into RJ45 ports on the required devices or patch panels, ensuring secure insertion until the connector latches. Use the cable to connect switches, routers, sockets or network cards for LAN or patching tasks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; keep it organised with clips or cable ties where appropriate.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its 3 m length for patch connections and maintain proper bend radius. Avoid exposure to excessive heat or physical stress; verify connectors for damage before installation. Choose the red colour for circuits that require easy identification in multi-cable installations.
