Networking Cable Neutrik etherCON CAT6 30 m NKE6S-3

The Neutrik etherCON CAT6 30 m networking cable is a preassembled, ready-to-use patch cable designed for professional audio, video and network installations. It features shielded S/FTP construction and robust metal cable plug carriers with a Push-Pull locking system, providing secure RJ-45 connections and reliable high-speed data transmission up to 10 GBit/s. The cable is CAT6-compliant and meets TIA/EIA 568B, ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173 specifications.

Advantages

The cable combines S/FTP shielding for enhanced EMI protection and noise immunity with a rugged metal etherCON-style connector housing and chuck-type strain relief for durable mechanical performance. Both ends are fitted with cable plug carriers and the mated connector achieves IP65 protection against dust and water intrusion. Push-Pull mating ensures a secure, proven locking mechanism suitable for repeated connections in professional environments.

Suitable for

• Live sound and stage network links
• Broadcast and video signal distribution
• Studio and AV installations requiring reliable RJ-45 connections
• Industrial or harsh environment network runs where dust/water resistance is needed
