DSIT CAT 6 S/FTP LSOH Patch Cable, 0.25 m, Blue

In a crowded server room where every centimetre of rack space counts, this DSIT CAT 6 patch cable keeps connections tidy and reliable. At just 0.25 metres, it links adjacent patch panels, switches, and servers without excess slack, while the blue jacket aids quick identification. The S/FTP shielding and LSOH jacket make it suitable for environments where safety and signal integrity are paramount.

Why choose it

The S/FTP construction provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance even in dense installations. The LSOH jacket emits low smoke and no halogen gases in case of fire, making it a safe choice for public buildings, offices, and data centres. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain reliable connectivity over time.

Ideal use cases

• High-density patching between network equipment in racks and cabinets
• Connecting servers to switches with minimal cable clutter
• Installations where fire safety regulations require halogen-free cabling
• Professional network deployments requiring CAT 6 performance

Good to know

The cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 networks, allowing gradual upgrades. Its short length reduces signal attenuation and simplifies cable management. The blue colour can be used for colour-coding network segments or services.
