Patch cable InLine S/FTP PiMF Cat6 250MHz RJ-45–RJ-45 PVC transparent 0.25 m

InLine S/FTP PiMF Cat6 patch cable, 250 MHz, 0.25 m length. This short transparent PVC cable provides a shielded Ethernet connection with RJ-45 plugs on both ends. The S/FTP construction combines an overall braided shield with individually foil‑shielded pairs (PiMF) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while Cat6 performance supports data rates and frequencies up to 250 MHz. The compact 0.25 m length is designed for close-range connections between patch panels, switches and network devices where cable management and pair shielding are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP PiMF design ensures enhanced protection against external EMI and near‑end crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. Transparent PVC jacket provides visible conductors and a flexible outer layer suitable for short runs in rack and patch environments. Cat6 specification and quality copper conductors deliver reliable signal transmission up to 250 MHz, making the cable suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high‑speed applications within its length limitations. RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and servers in rack cabinets
• Shielded network segments requiring reduced EMI and improved pair isolation
• Structured cabling endpoints where Cat6 performance is required over short distances
• Horizontal or equipment-side connections inside data centres and network closets

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6 (Cat6), up to 250 MHz
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil‑shielded pairs, PiMF)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, 8P8C
• Length: 0.25 m
• Conductor: copper (solid/stranded based on manufacturer assembly)
• Jacket material: PVC, transparent finish
• Application: Ethernet, Gigabit networks, structured cabling patching

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the patch panel or adjacent device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius recommended for Cat6 cables. For shielded installations, connect cable shield to properly grounded metal panels or connectors to preserve the shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

Use this 0.25 m S/FTP Cat6 patch cable for short, shielded interconnections inside racks and patch panels. Avoid overstretching or repeated heavy flexing; maintain grounding for optimal EMI protection and test connections after installation to verify link speed and signal integrity.
