Patch cable helos Ultra Slim 3 m SFTP Cat 6a

helos Ultra Slim patch cable, 3 m SFTP Cat 6a is a slim, flexible Ethernet cable engineered for high‑speed networking and reliable signal integrity. With Category 6a performance and SFTP shielding, this 3‑metre cable reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference while occupying minimal space. The cable is intended for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and other network devices in environments where dense cabling or tight routing paths require a compact, easy‑to‑manage solution.

Advantages

The Ultra Slim design provides a smaller diameter and greater flexibility than standard cables, allowing improved cable management in racks, cabinets and behind desks. SFTP shielding combines an overall foil with braided shielding around individual pairs to limit external interference and pair‑to‑pair crosstalk, supporting stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit links where Cat 6a performance is required. The 3 m length balances reach and neatness for typical office and home layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and data cabinet environments
• High‑speed Ethernet connections up to Cat 6a performance levels
• Space‑limited installations where a slim, flexible cable simplifies routing
• Home networks requiring tidy cable runs behind furniture or entertainment centers

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: SFTP (overall foil plus braided shield and pair shielding)
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Suitable for 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet where Cat 6a is supported
• Reduced diameter and increased flexibility compared with standard patch cords

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices, such as a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and latches engage to maintain a secure connection. Route the cable through cable management channels or along racks to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the slim design allows easier routing in tight spaces. For optimal performance, keep the cable parallel to power sources and away from large electrical equipment that may cause interference.

Recommendations

For consistent Cat 6a performance, use this helos Ultra Slim patch cable within structured cabling installations that support Cat 6a links and avoid running the cable in direct contact with high‑voltage power lines. Replace cables that show visible damage to connectors or shielding. Test installed links with an appropriate network tester when deploying in critical environments.
