Networking cable Renkforce RF-4145286 3m Cat6a S/FTP

The Renkforce RF-4145286 3m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable provides a high-performance wired connection for data networks. Constructed to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) protection and fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. Its 3 meter length and grey jacket make it suitable for connecting devices across rooms, between patch panels and switches, or inside structured cabling installations in homes and offices.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for more stable signals in crowded network environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance, while Cat6a specifications allow for higher bandwidth and improved performance over Cat5e and Cat6 cabling. The 3 m length offers flexibility without excess cable slack, and the durable outer jacket is designed for regular handling and routing.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and workstations to network switches or routers
• Wiring patch panels and wall outlets in home or small office networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as streaming, large file transfers and gaming
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding improves stability

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil around each twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Length: 3 m
• Outer color: grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other connector into the port of a router, switch or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radii recommended for twisted-pair cables to preserve signal integrity. For installations in shielded environments, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment to take full advantage of the S/FTP shielding.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance at longer distances, use this Cat6a cable within its rated length and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines. When terminating or modifying cable runs, follow industry cabling standards and ensure connectors and patch panels are compatible with Cat6a performance levels.
