Networking Cable Renkforce RF-3829278 3m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The Renkforce RF-3829278 3m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable provides a compact, shielded connection for high-speed Ethernet links. With S/FTP shielding and Cat6a specification, the cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is built with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its 3-meter length offers flexibility for linking routers, switches, patch panels and desktop devices while the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for home or office networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP (shielded foil over individually screened pairs) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. Cat6a specification ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 3 m length. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance for stable connections over time.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and servers
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in offices or data closets
• Connecting desktop PCs, NAS devices and media players to wired networks
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Color: Grey

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports of your network devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Use the 3 m length to route between nearby network equipment, avoiding tight bends and kinks to maintain cable performance. For installations in shielded systems, ensure the cable shields are properly grounded through the connected equipment or chassis to take full advantage of S/FTP shielding.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and maintain bend radii greater than the connector outer diameter. Use the cable in environments where 10 Gigabit performance is required or where reduced interference is important; verify that attached devices support the intended link speed and that patch panels or keystone jacks are rated for Cat6a.
