Cabo de rede Draka Comteq Cat.6a 3m

The Draka Comteq Cat.6a 3m networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired connections in professional and home network setups. Featuring S/FTP construction and factory-terminated RJ-45 plugs on both ends, this black Cat6a cable supports greater bandwidth and improved immunity to electromagnetic interference compared with lower-category cables. At 3 meters long, it balances reach and neat installation for desktop, patch-panel, or network equipment connections while meeting Cat6a performance characteristics.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding topology combines an overall foil screen with individually shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and external noise, helping maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. The cable is terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors for plug-and-play compatibility with network switches, routers, and network interface cards. Its Cat6a rating enables support for 10GBASE-T over shorter distances and improved margin for gigabit Ethernet, while the 3 m length offers flexibility without excess slack.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting computers, switches, and NAS devices in office or home networks
• Patch panel to switch links in rack or cabinet installations
• High-throughput applications such as video streaming, file transfers, and VoIP
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where improved shielding is needed

• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends, factory-terminated
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: Black
• Supported Ethernet: Suitable for 1 Gbps and higher; designed to support 10GBASE-T within standard distance limits

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring the connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 jacks until the latch clicks. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain bend radius consistent with cable best practices to preserve performance. For rack installations, secure excess length with cable ties or management panels to prevent strain on connectors. Verify link status on devices after connection and perform a network speed or cable test if required to confirm expected performance.

Recommendations

Use the cable where higher shielding and Cat6a performance are desired, especially in installations near power lines or other sources of EMI. For permanent in-wall installations, consult local regulations and use appropriate in-wall rated cabling. When pairing with patch panels or keystone jacks, match cable category and maintain correct pair termination to ensure the expected network throughput.
