Helos 263816 Network Cable White 3m Cat6a S/FTP

The Helos 263816 White 3m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a 3 meter Ethernet lead designed to support high-speed wired connections in home and office environments. Built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding and fitted with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts, the cable offers improved noise immunity and consistent signal transfer for applications that require reliable gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance while maintaining a discreet white finish.

Advantages

Cat6a performance combined with S/FTP (shielded foil around individually shielded pairs and an overall shield) reduces alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, delivering stable throughput for demanding network tasks. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and resist corrosion, contributing to longer connector life and consistent low-loss signal transmission. The 3 m length provides a balance between reach and neat cable management in desktop, networking rack or office setups, and the white jacket blends into light-coloured interiors.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• High-bandwidth streaming, online gaming and VoIP where stable Ethernet is required
• Temporary or permanent patching in structured cabling within racks or wall outlets
• Environments sensitive to interference where shielded cables reduce noise impact

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid/foil with individually foiled pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 3 m
• Colour: White

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your computer, switch or router and the other plug to the corresponding network device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to provide a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For installations in racks or wall-mounted outlets, use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors and maintain consistent signal performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for connections up to 3 m where shielded cabling is preferred. Avoid kinking the cable and keep it away from unshielded power cables and strong EMI sources; when terminating or extending runs, maintain shielding continuity and proper grounding practices in the installation.
