Struggling with slow, unreliable connections in a busy office or home setup? You need a cable that can handle the fastest speeds without interference. The Cables Direct 3m CAT6a (ART-103K) M - M S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45 Cable is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for 10 Gigabit networks, keeping your data flowing smoothly and securely.

Benefits of Cables Direct Ethernet Cable

You get peace of mind knowing the cable supports future-proof 10 Gigabit speeds, so you won’t need to replace it soon. The low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket reduces fire hazards, protecting both people and equipment. Shielded pairs guard against electromagnetic interference, delivering a stable connection even in crowded wiring environments. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable, low-resistance links that last for years. The snagless design and moulded strain relief make installation easy and keep the cable intact after repeated plugging and unplugging.

Key Features of a 3 m Ethernet Cable

• Category: CAT 6a. Provides up to 600 MHz bandwidth for high-speed data.
• Technology: SFTP. Each pair is foil-shielded and the whole cable has an outer shield for maximum EMI protection.
• Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP). Prevents external interference, keeping your signal clean.
• Connector type: RJ-45. Standard plug fits all common network devices.
• Connector contacts plating: Gold. Reduces corrosion and maintains a low-loss connection.
• Data transfer rate: 10000 Mbit/s. Enables true 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance.
• Cable length: 3 m. Ideal for most desk-to-desk or rack-to-switch runs.
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Limits toxic fumes if a fire occurs.
• Snagless connectors: Bubble-protected locking clips. Prevents damage during handling.
• Flush moulded strain relief: Allows tight packing in high-density switch panels without stress on the cable.

Usages of a 3 m Ethernet Cable

A 3 m length fits perfectly into everyday networking tasks:

• Connecting a desktop PC to a wall-mounted switch.
• Linking a home office laptop to a router for stable video calls.
• Wiring servers in a rack where space is limited.
• Hooking up a gaming console for lag-free online play.
• Providing a reliable link for IP-based security cameras.
