Networking cable LOGON SSTP Cat6a Blue 3 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, shielded

LOGON SSTP Cat6a Blue 3 m is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired network connections. The cable conforms to Cat6a specifications for up to 10 Gbps data rates over supported distances and uses SSTP (foil-wrapped pairs with overall braid) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference in environments with multiple cables or nearby electronic equipment. Each end is terminated with an RJ-45 male connector and the cable is finished in blue with a boot that provides kink protection and strain relief.

Advantages

SSTP construction with foil around each pair plus an overall braided shield improves immunity to crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded variants. The 4 x 2 x AWG 26/7 stranded conductor construction delivers flexibility for routing in home or office installations while maintaining the 100 Ohm characteristic impedance required for Ethernet. Shielded RJ-45 plugs with metal housings ensure continuity of the cable shield through the connector, and the molded boot reduces connector damage and accidental cable bends.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, modems and patch panels in LAN installations
• High-speed data transfer between networked devices (up to Cat6a performance)
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is beneficial
• Structured cabling runs in small offices, server closets and home networks

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the Ethernet ports of your devices until the connector latches. Use the cable to link switches, routers, modems or patch panels, ensuring that shielded ports or properly grounded patch panels are used when installing SSTP cabling to retain shielding effectiveness. Route the cable without tight bends and avoid placing it under constant mechanical stress; the molded boot provides strain relief but allowing gentle curves preserves signal performance. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management fittings and maintain separation from high-voltage power lines where possible.

Recommendations

For best results with shielded Cat6a cabling, terminate or connect to devices that support shielded connectors and provide a proper grounding path for the cable shield. When deploying in racks or conduit, maintain bending radius recommendations (typically greater than 4 x cable diameter) and avoid sharp kinks to preserve performance up to 10 Gbps over supported runs.
