InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6 250MHz PVC copper purple 2m

The InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat.6 250MHz PVC copper purple 2m is a 2-metre network patch cable designed for connecting devices with RJ45 ports such as switches, routers, wall sockets, patch panels and network cards. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and is specified for use up to 250 MHz. The cable features S/FTP shielding with individually shielded pairs and an overall foil to reduce electromagnetic interference, and a PVC jacket in purple for physical protection and easy identification.

Advantages

This Cat.6 patch cable provides reliable high-speed data transmission for Gigabit networks, with S/FTP PiMF shielding to minimise crosstalk and external interference. The 2 m length makes it suitable for short links in racks, desktop setups and patch panels. Standard RJ45 connectors ensure plug-and-play compatibility with common network equipment, while the PVC outer jacket offers durable mechanical protection.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended for typical indoor networking and short to medium-length patch runs; it is not designed for outdoor installation or direct burial. Environments that require enhanced flame retardancy or low-smoke zero-halogen materials may need a different jacket material than PVC. For links significantly longer than 2 m, choose a longer cable to avoid tension and signal loss.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector securely into the corresponding network port until it clicks. Use the 2 m cable to connect equipment within the same rack, desktop area or between a patch panel and switch. Ensure that connectors and ports are free from dust and that the cable is not tightly bent near the connector to maintain signal integrity. For cable routing, avoid running parallel and close to high-power electrical cabling to reduce potential interference.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this Cat.6 S/FTP patch cable for indoor, short-range Gigabit connections such as between patch panels, switches and end devices; avoid outdoor exposure and excessive bending near connectors to preserve performance.
