Networking Cable Helos Cat 6a S/FTP 3 m Red

The Helos Cat 6a S/FTP 3 m Red networking cable provides a shielded twisted-pair connection designed for high-speed Ethernet environments. Constructed to Cat6a performance levels with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) configuration and fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable supports reliable data transmission while limiting electromagnetic interference. Its 3 m length offers moderate reach for connecting routers, switches, PCs or networked devices, and the red jacket helps visually identify cabling runs within an installation.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall shielding braid with individually foiled pairs to reduce crosstalk and external noise, improving signal integrity in congested cable environments. Cat6a specification ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances, while RJ-45 terminations guarantee compatibility with standard network ports. The 3 m length balances flexibility and neat cable management, and the coloured sheath simplifies identification when multiple cables are present.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Short runs between patch panels and wall sockets in server rooms or comms cabinets
• High-speed Ethernet links where reduced interference is required
• Setups that benefit from colour-coded cabling for identification and organization

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 3 m
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (router, switch, PC or wall outlet) and the other connector into the corresponding network port. Avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable to maintain signal performance; route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources where possible. For installations in racks or ducting, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties without compressing the jacket or shielding.

Recommendations

The cable is intended for indoor use within typical structured cabling environments. For sustained 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the maximum supported distances, ensure connectors and network equipment also meet Cat6a requirements. Do not expose the cable to outdoor weather, prolonged UV light or mechanical strain beyond standard handling and routing practices.
