Patch Cable Equip Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 0.25m White

The Equip Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 patch cable (0.25 m) is a short, white network cable designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses screened foil twisted pair (S/FTP) shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain signal integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference in dense cabling environments. The cable is suitable for short patching runs between switches, patch panels and devices where a compact, high-performance connection is required.

Advantages

The Cat.6 S/FTP construction provides improved bandwidth and a better signal-to-noise margin compared with lower-category cables, helping to deliver stable 1000 Mbit/s data rates. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer corrosion resistance and consistent contact quality. The 0.25 m length minimises excess cable clutter in racks and desktop installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) installations
• Home or office network setups requiring minimal cable slack

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25 m patch cable is not intended for long runs or in-wall permanent wiring where longer lengths and different installation standards are required. For environments with extreme mechanical stress or very high temperatures, a cable with specific ruggedisation or temperature ratings should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Shielding: S/FTP (screened foil with individually foil-wrapped pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Supported speeds: 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Colour: White
• Weight: 0.015 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network switch or patch panel and the other end to the target device or port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched to establish a secure connection. Use this short patch cable to tidy rack or desktop setups and avoid excess cable loops that can impair airflow or access.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your installation to avoid excess slack or insufficient reach
• Whether S/FTP shielding is needed based on nearby sources of electromagnetic interference
• Compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet ports and required transfer speeds

Recommendations

For neat rack and patch panel management, use this 0.25 m Cat.6 S/FTP patch cable for short interconnects and reserve longer lengths for horizontal or in-wall cabling. Verify port speed settings on network devices to ensure Gigabit throughput.
