Networking Cable Helos CAT6a S/FTP (PIMF) 3m

The Helos CAT6a S/FTP (PIMF) 3m networking cable is designed for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections. This grey, 3-meter cable implements CAT6a specification with S/FTP (shielded foil over each pair with overall braid) structure to support up to 10 Gbps (10000 Mbit/s) data transfer rates and 10GBase-T cabling technology. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 connectors for straightforward connection to switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP (PIMF) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. Its CAT6a specification ensures stable performance for 10GBase-T networks over short distances, while the 3 m length offers a balance between reach and tidy cable management. Standard RJ-45 terminations provide broad compatibility with networking hardware.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in small offices and data closets
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices and networked workstations
• Patch cabling between wall outlets and network equipment
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T (CAT6a)
• Topology: S/FTP (PIMF) — individual pair foil with overall braid
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Color: Grey
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports of your devices, ensuring secure seating until the connector latch engages. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable and keep shielded connectors mated with compatible shielded ports if equipment grounding is required. Route the cable away from power lines and large sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

For best results in 10GBase-T deployments, use this CAT6a S/FTP cable for short horizontal runs or patching within racks and cabinets. Ensure connector shielding is properly connected to grounded equipment to maintain the shielding effectiveness.
