Networking cable LOGON APR6005R Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) Red 0.5 m, RJ‑45–RJ‑45

LOGON APR6005R Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) Red 0.5 m is a short patch cable designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable features RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and a red outer jacket for quick visual identification. With individually foil‑shielded pairs and an overall braided shield, this Cat6 S/FTP cable provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for use in crowded rack and cabinet environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines foil shielding on each pair with an overall braid to reduce pair‑to‑pair crosstalk and external EMI. The 0.5 m length minimises excess cable in patching areas and helps maintain tidy cable management. RJ‑45 connectors are factory‑terminated for consistent electrical contact and plug compatibility with standard networking equipment. The red jacket aids in fast visual identification of specific circuits or VLANs.

Suitable for

• Short connections between patch panels and switches
• Connecting servers, routers or network appliances within racks
• Environments where reduced EMI and crosstalk are required
• Cable runs where color‑coding simplifies identification and management

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil‑shielded pairs with overall braid)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, straight plug
• Color: Red outer jacket
• Supports: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE‑T)

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of the switch, patch panel or device and the other connector into the corresponding port on the receiving device. Avoid sharp bends near the connector boots and do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius to preserve shielding and pair geometry. Use the short 0.5 m length to connect adjacent equipment or to link a patch panel to a nearby switch without excess slack.

Recommendations

For best performance, route the cable separately from power lines and high‑noise equipment. When using multiple cables in a bundle, maintain correct strain relief and avoid tightly compressing the braided shield. Use color coding like the red jacket to identify trunk lines, specific VLANs or critical connections in racks and patch panels.
