Networking Cable Renkforce RF-4149864 Cat6a 1m Grey

The Renkforce RF-4149864 Cat6a networking cable is a 1 meter grey patch cable designed for high-speed wired connections. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and twisted pair conductors, the cable delivers stable performance for Ethernet networks and supports data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s over suitable network equipment. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, the cable provides reliable contact quality and reduced signal loss in typical home, office, and server-room installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. The Cat6a specification provides greater bandwidth and headroom compared with lower-category cables, enabling 10 Gigabit Ethernet at appropriate distances. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure corrosion resistance and consistent conductivity for long-term use. The 1 m length offers convenient patching between devices in racks, patch panels, or desktop setups, while the neutral grey jacket blends into many professional installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels within a network rack
• Linking desktop PCs, workstations, and printers to a wired LAN
• Short runs between network devices in home offices or small server rooms
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (with compatible hardware)
• Color: Grey

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your network devices, ensuring a secure click to confirm the latch. Use the cable for direct device-to-device connections, patch panel to switch links, or for short horizontal runs within a structured cabling system. Verify that connected equipment supports the intended data rates and configure network settings on devices as required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius to preserve signal performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the Cat6a cable in combination with compatible Cat6a or higher-rated switches and network interface cards. Avoid running shielded cables in parallel with power lines; if grounding is required for shielded installations, follow local grounding practices and the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
