TECLINE Dätwyler Cat 6a S/FTP PiMF Patch Cable, Grey, 3.0 m, LSZH, Hirose TM31, 1200 MHz, UniNet 7702 (78003)

Network administrators deploying 10GBASE-T links in data centers and enterprise wiring closets need a patch cord that maintains signal integrity under dense bundling. This 3-meter Cat 6a patch cable from Dätwyler's UniNet 7702 series delivers exactly that: S/FTP shielding with PiMF (pairs in metal foil) and an LSZH jacket, terminated with Hirose TM31 RJ45 plugs rated to 1200 MHz. It's a dependable link for high-speed server connections, switch-to-switch uplinks, and workstation drops in environments where performance and safety are non-negotiable.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6a (Augmented Category 6), 10GBASE-T ready
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil per pair), PiMF construction
• Length: 3.0 m (9.8 ft)
• Colour: Grey
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), halogen-free
• Connectors: Hirose TM31 RJ45, 1200 MHz rated
• Conductor: Stranded copper, 4 pairs, TIA/EIA-568B wiring
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, TIA/EIA-568-C.2, IEC 60332-1

Why choose it

The combination of S/FTP shielding and PiMF pair isolation virtually eliminates alien crosstalk, a critical factor for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. The Hirose TM31 connectors are engineered for high-frequency performance and long-term reliability, with a robust strain relief that withstands frequent re-patching. The LSZH jacket means that in the event of fire, smoke and toxic fumes are minimized, making it suitable for public buildings, healthcare, and transportation. Dätwyler's UniNet 7702 series is trusted in mission-critical networks worldwide.

Ideal use cases

• Data center server-to-switch connections (10GBASE-T)
• High-density patch panels in enterprise wiring closets
• Workstation drops for bandwidth-intensive applications
• Installations requiring halogen-free cabling (public areas, hospitals)
• Upgrading legacy Cat5e/6 links to 10G without recabling

Good to know

This patch cable is factory pre-terminated and tested to exceed Cat 6a component specifications. It is backward compatible with all lower Ethernet speeds (1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T). The grey jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance and can be easily identified in cable management. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius of 4x the cable diameter. The cable is RoHS compliant and meets the flammability requirements of IEC 60332-1.
