Networking cable LOGON APR6005Y Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) Yellow 0.5 m RJ-45–RJ-45

LOGON APR6005Y Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) Yellow 0.5 m is a short patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling. The cable uses S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually foil‑shielded pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable data transmission in environments with nearby electrical equipment. Its 0.5 m length and compact connectors make it suitable for patch panels, switch ports and short in-rack or desk‑level connections where space is limited.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction improves noise immunity compared with unshielded cables, which helps preserve signal integrity for high‑speed Ethernet links. The Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet performance and up to 250 MHz frequency, while the yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in cable runs. The short 0.5 m form factor minimizes cable clutter and maintains tidy cable management in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels to switches in server cabinets and racks
• Short connections between network equipment in office desks or comms closets
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred
• Color-coded cabling schemes for easy identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with foil‑shielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 plug to RJ-45 plug, straight
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket color: Yellow
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH) outer sheath

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks, ensuring correct orientation. Use the cable for short patching between network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain manufacturer‑recommended bend radius for optimal signal performance. If used in shielded installations, ensure cable shields and connector housings are properly grounded to take full advantage of the S/FTP shielding.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, keep this 0.5 m patch cable for short in‑rack or desk connections rather than long runs. Match shielding and grounding practices in the installation to prevent ground loops and to maximize electromagnetic interference protection. Use color coding to simplify network identification and maintenance.
