Networking cable LOGON APR6A030Y Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Yellow 3 m RJ‑45–RJ‑45

LOGON APR6A030Y Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Yellow 3 m RJ‑45–RJ‑45 is a 3‑metre shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver Cat6a performance for high‑speed local area networks. With foil-and-braid S/FTP shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends, this cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs and reduces electromagnetic interference for more reliable signal transmission in data centers, offices and home network installations.

Advantages

The combination of foil and braided shielding (S/FTP) around individually shielded pairs minimizes crosstalk and external EMI, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Cat6a specification ensures support for higher bandwidths and 10GBASE‑T links where short cable lengths are used. The bright yellow jacket provides easy identification in cable bundles, and RJ‑45 plug compatibility makes it suitable for standard network ports without adapters.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet short runs in server rooms and data centers
• Office LAN connections between switches, patch panels and workstations
• Shielded home network setups where EMI is a concern
• Structured cabling installations requiring visible colour coding

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, straight plug
• Colour: Yellow
• Conductor type: twisted pairs (4 pairs)
• Jacket material: LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other RJ‑45 plug to the target device such as a server, workstation or network appliance. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the locking tab engages to establish a secure connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks or excessive tension along the cable run and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference when routing.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short 10GBASE‑T links and in areas where improved shielding is required. Maintain bend radius recommendations from equipment manufacturers, label both ends for easy identification, and avoid routing parallel to power cabling to minimize residual interference.
