Network Cable Equip Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cable RJ-45 1m White

The Equip Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cable is a 1 m white network cable designed for reliable gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable is intended for structured cabling and patching in offices, server rooms, and home networks and is supplied in a set format.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combined with quality conductor materials provides improved signal-to-noise margin and reduced crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and corrosion resistance. The 1 m length is convenient for patch panels and short link connections, and the white jacket offers a neutral appearance for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) patching
• Office and data centre horizontal cabling and patch panels
• Short link connections between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Home networks requiring shielded cables to minimise interference

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance backbone runs or outdoor installations. It is designed for indoor patching and short horizontal connections; for longer runs, a bulk cable or longer patch leads are more appropriate. If you require specific environmental ratings (e.g. direct burial or extreme temperature resistance), choose a cable designed for those conditions.

Key specifications

• Cabling standard: Cat.6 (S/FTP)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (suitable for 10/100/1000Base-T)
• Colour: White
• Weight: 0.036 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other into the target port or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and electromagnetic sources near the cable; keep the cable length appropriate for the run to prevent excess slack in patch areas.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and number of patch leads for your setup
• Whether shielded (S/FTP) cable is necessary to reduce interference in your environment
• Compatibility with your network equipment and desired data rates (gigabit Ethernet)

Recommendations

Use the Equip Cat.6 S/FTP 1 m patch cable for short, indoor gigabit connections such as between patch panels and switches, and avoid routing it near strong electromagnetic sources or using it for long-distance backbone runs.
