InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6 250MHz PVC copper purple 0.5m

This InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6 250MHz PVC copper purple 0.5m is a short, high-performance network patch cord designed for reliable Ethernet connections in compact installations. The cable conforms to the Cat.6 standard and supports Gigabit Ethernet data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s at frequencies up to 250 MHz. S/FTP shielding and pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF) construction reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while flexible PVC jacket and molded connectors provide mechanical durability. The 0.5 m length and distinctive purple color make it practical for patch panels, switch-to-switch links within racks, or connecting devices in confined spaces where clear cable identification is required.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding with PiMF protects signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment and dense cabling. Cat.6 design ensures support for Gigabit speeds and network reliability for data, voice and multimedia traffic. Compact 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in racks or behind equipment, improving airflow and organization. The PVC jacket provides a balance of flexibility and robustness for frequent handling and routing in server rooms or office setups. The purple color simplifies visual identification of specific runs or services.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within racks
• Short links between wall sockets and network devices
• Patch connections in data cabinets and telecommunications closets
• Environments requiring shielded cables to reduce interference

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector ends into the corresponding RJ45 ports on network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or network sockets. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure physical and electrical connection. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the connectors. For best performance, keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference despite its shielding.

Recommendations

Use this short S/FTP Cat.6 patch cable for intra-rack connections and short device links where space is limited. For longer runs, select a cable with an appropriate length and confirm installation practices that preserve shielding continuity at terminations. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or molded ends are compromised.
