Networking Cable Dätwyler 21.05.0574 Blue 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The Dätwyler 21.05.0574 Blue 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired networks. Built to Cat6a specifications, this 7.5 meter cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper and includes S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in blue, the cable is intended for reliable connections between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in office, data center or home environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides comprehensive shielding by combining an overall braid with individual foil around each twisted pair, which improves signal integrity in environments with potential interference. Cat6a performance enables higher bandwidth and longer reliable runs at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making the cable suitable for 10GBASE-T. The 7.5 m length balances reach for typical desk-to-wall or equipment-to-rack connections while minimizing excess cable. Pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors allow immediate plug-and-play use without the need for field termination.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, servers and workstations
• Wired office and small data center patching
• High-performance home networks for streaming and gaming
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid plus foil-wrapped individual pairs
• Length: 7.5 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, pre-terminated
• Bandwidth: up to 500 MHz
• Data rate support: up to 10 Gbps over appropriate distances
• Color: Blue
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper depending on model variant (designed for patching)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to a network device such as a switch, router or wall outlet and the other connector to the corresponding network endpoint. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to maintain shielding integrity and performance. For best results, keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic noise and use cable management solutions such as clips or trays to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Verify device compatibility with Cat6a cabling and ensure patch panels or keystone jacks support shielded cabling if you integrate the cable into structured cabling. For permanent installations, confirm whether solid-conductor cable is required; this pre-terminated patch-style cable is intended primarily for patching and interconnects. Periodically inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if shielding or connector integrity is compromised.
