HellermannTyton Connectivity Category 6A Cat6a Ethernet Cable Straight Male to Straight Male, 3 m, Grey, Shielded Low

HellermannTyton Connectivity Category 6A Series Ethernet Cable, 3m Cable Length, Grey Jacket - RJ45C6AGY-3.0M

This ethernet cable provides shielded network connectivity for high-speed data transmission in environments requiring reduced emissions and enhanced signal integrity. It is designed as a straight-to-straight connection between two male RJ45 terminations and is suited to installations where a low-smoke, halogen-free outer sheath is preferred.

Features and Benefits:

• Category6A construction supports higher frequency performance
  Shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference for clearer signals
  Male-to-male RJ45 terminations enable direct patching between ports
  Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces
  Grey outer sheath assists discrete cable routing in neutral environments
  Three-metre length offers flexible reach for rack-to-equipment links

Applications

• Suitable for structured links in data centre patching
  Ideal for connections between network switches and servers
  Used with high-density patch panels in comms rooms
  Can be used for workstation-to-wall plate high-speed links
  Suitable for environments requiring reduced toxic-fume emission

What materials are used for the outer sheath and why does that matter?

The outer jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen material which emits minimal toxic gases and dense smoke when exposed to fire, reducing hazard during evacuation and equipment recovery.

How does the cable’s shielding affect installation near other services?

The shielded construction provides immunity to nearby electromagnetic sources, allowing closer routing beside power and signal conduits without significant crosstalk degradation.

Are the connectors suitable for standard RJ45 ports in networking equipment?

Yes, both ends are straight male RJ45 connectors designed to mate with standard RJ45 sockets used on switches, routers and patch panels.

What practical advantages does the three-metre length provide in rack installations?

A 3m lead allows flexible positioning of network devices and reduces the need for intermediate patch points while maintaining tidy cable management within racks.
