Patch Cable InLine S/FTP PiMF Cat6 250MHz RJ-45 to RJ-45 PVC copper pink 0.3 m

InLine Patch Cable S/FTP PiMF Cat6 250MHz RJ-45 to RJ-45 PVC copper pink 0.3 m is a short, shielded Ethernet patch lead designed for reliable Gigabit and Fast Ethernet links in confined spaces. The cable uses S/FTP shielding with pairs individually foil-wrapped and an overall braid, and a Pair-in-Metal-Foil (PiMF) conductor arrangement to reduce crosstalk and external interference up to the specified 250 MHz frequency. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 plugs and the outer jacket is made of PVC in a pink finish, providing a compact, visible connection for patch panels, switches and network devices.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines an overall braided shield with individual foil around each twisted pair, offering enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables. The PiMF conductor arrangement further improves near-end and far-end crosstalk performance, making the cable suitable for environments with multiple adjacent links. The 0.3 m length reduces clutter in patch panels and avoids excess cable loops while the copper conductors and Cat6 performance rating support data rates up to Gigabit Ethernet within the 250 MHz bandwidth.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This 0.3 m patch cable is intended for short link installations; it is not suitable for long-distance runs or backbone cabling where longer lengths and different cable classes are required. PVC jacket material is common and durable for indoor use but may not meet fire, low-smoke or outdoor UV-resistant requirements found in specialized installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plugs into the corresponding Ethernet ports on network switches, patch panels, routers or devices until the plug latches. Use the 0.3 m length to make direct short connections in a rack or between closely positioned equipment to minimize slack and maintain tidy cabling. Avoid sharp bends near the connectorized ends and secure cables to rails or cable management accessories as needed to prevent strain on the plugs.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP patch cable for short, high-density patching inside racks or close device connections. Maintain gentle cable bends, avoid kinking, and ensure proper shielding continuity to reduce EMI; pair this cable with shielded ports or patch panels when available.
