Networking Cable Renkforce RF-4149873 10m Cat6a S/FTP

The Renkforce RF-4149873 10m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable provides a high-performance wired connection for devices that require reliable, high-speed data transfer. Designed for structured networks and home offices, this cable uses Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain stable signal quality over a 10 metre run. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping to preserve signal integrity in crowded cable environments. The Cat6a category supports higher frequencies and throughput compared with earlier categories, enabling data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide corrosion resistance and consistent contact for stable connections. The 10 m length balances reach and manageability for typical room-to-room or workstation connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and network-enabled devices in home and small office networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet segments
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred
• Structured cabling runs where a 10 metre cable length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Color: grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your switch, router or network device and the other connector to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks, and exposure to strong electromagnetic sources when possible. For permanent installations, use cable management accessories to maintain neat runs and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and keep separation from power cables where feasible. When deploying in environments with heavy interference, verify proper grounding of connected equipment to complement the cable's shielding. Use the 10 m length for short to medium runs; for longer distances, consider using appropriately rated patch panels or in-line devices to maintain signal quality.
