Network patch cable LOGON TCR66SS050R Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) Red, 5 m, RJ-45–RJ-45

LOGON TCR66SS050R is a 5 m Cat6 network patch cable with S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. Designed for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling, this cable combines a stranded conductor construction with foil and braided shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The red outer jacket provides clear visual identification for ports, runs and patch panels in office, rack and data centre environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) design includes an overall braid and individual foil around each twisted pair, offering improved protection against external electromagnetic disturbances compared with unshielded alternatives. The cable supports gigabit speeds and reliable signal transmission over typical horizontal runs. A coloured jacket simplifies cable management by making it easier to trace and separate critical links in crowded installations.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE‑T) connections
• Structured cabling in offices, racks and data centres
• Areas with potential electromagnetic interference (near power lines, transformers, or dense cabling)
• Patch panels, switch-to-switch, or switch-to-server links

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil around each pair)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, straight
• Conductor type: stranded (flexible patch cable)
• Outer jacket colour: red

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network device or patch panel port and the other plug to the corresponding port on the switch, router or endpoint. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and tight kinks; respect the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. If using in a rack, label both ends or rely on the red jacket for quick identification.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP patch cable for horizontal runs up to typical office distances and within structured cabling environments. Keep the cable clear of high‑voltage power lines and large electrical equipment to minimize EMI. For permanent in‑wall installations, consider a cable rated for in‑wall or plenum use; this product is intended for patching and equipment interconnects.
