Cables Direct 3m CAT6a (ART-103G) M - M S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 Cable

Slow, unreliable connections can cripple work-from-home or gaming sessions. The Cables Direct 3m CAT6a (ART-103G) M - M S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 Cable is a high-performance Ethernet cable that delivers up to 10 Gbps over a tidy three-metre run, keeping your devices linked with speed and stability you can count on.

Cables Direct Ethernet Cable

Using this cable feels effortless - you plug the snag-less RJ-45 connectors in and instantly benefit from a clean, interference-free link. The low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket means the cable is safe for office or home environments, while the flush moulded strain relief lets you stack it neatly in crowded switch panels without worrying about damage.

Benefits of Cables Direct Ethernet Cable

• Faster setup: snag-less connectors protect the clip, so you avoid broken pins during installation.
• Reliable performance: S/FTP shielding stops electromagnetic interference, keeping data loss to a minimum.
• Future-proof: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, so you won’t need to replace it when speeds increase.
• Safe environment: LSZH jacket emits no toxic gases if a fire occurs, protecting people and equipment.
• Space-saving design: flush moulded strain relief lets cables sit side-by-side in high-density racks.
