Networking cable LogiLink CQ3142S RJ-45 Cat6a 50 m Grey

The LogiLink CQ3142S RJ-45 Cat6a 50 m Grey networking cable is a 50-meter copper Ethernet cable built to Cat6a performance and fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It uses S/FTP (S-STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and the contact surfaces are copper-plated to ensure stable electrical contact. The grey outer jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office and home installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) shielding construction improves signal integrity in environments with multiple networked devices or near other electrical equipment. Cat6a specification supports higher data rates and better alien crosstalk resistance compared with lower-category cables, making the cable suitable for demanding network links. RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards, while copper-plated contacts provide consistent connection quality and reduced oxidation risk.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 50 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP)
• Connector type: RJ-45 — both ends
• Contact plating: copper-plated contacts
• Outer colour: Grey

How to use

Run the cable between network devices or through cable management routes, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges. Insert the RJ-45 plugs fully into the corresponding ports on switches, routers or network cards until the latch clicks. For wall or rack installations, secure the cable along its path with appropriate clips or ties, keeping separation from high-voltage power lines where possible to minimize interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep individual cable runs below the maximum recommended horizontal distance for structured cabling and avoid excessive bending radius. When connecting high-speed equipment, verify port settings and test the link with suitable network testers to confirm throughput and signal integrity.
