Networking cable Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Black

The Sharkoon Cat.6a SFTP RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Black networking cable provides a compact, high-performance connection for wired networks. Designed for Cat6a transmission standards, the cable supports high data transfer rates and improved signal integrity through S/FTP shielding. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors and the 1 meter length offers a tidy solution for connecting devices in close proximity, such as desktops, switches, routers and patch panels. The black jacket delivers a neutral look compatible with most office and home setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for more stable transmission over copper conductors. The Cat6a specification supports higher frequencies compared with earlier categories, enabling reliable performance for gigabit and multi-gigabit applications. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with a wide range of network devices, and the 1 m length minimizes excess cable clutter in compact installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices until it clicks into place. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and do not stretch the cable. When routing through cable channels or behind furniture, maintain gentle curves and avoid tight bends near the connector boots. If used in an active network, ensure both devices negotiate the intended speed and duplex settings or configure them manually in device network settings if necessary.

Recommendations

For optimal signal quality, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or unshielded power cabling; use proper cable management to reduce strain and extend service life.
