Dätwyler Cables S/FTP Patch cable Cat6 Green 15m

The Dätwyler Cables S/FTP Patch cable Cat6 Green 15m is a 15-metre network patch cable designed for structured cabling and point-to-point Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat6 performance, the cable supports high-speed data transmission and is sheathed in a green jacket for quick identification in patch panels, racks and cable runs. The S/FTP shielding topology combines an overall screen with individually shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in mixed-cable environments.

Advantages

This Cat6 S/FTP patch cable provides enhanced signal integrity through both overall foil shielding and individually screened pairs, improving resistance to external interference. The 15 m length accommodates longer patching distances without introducing additional connectors, while the green outer jacket aids visual management of network infrastructure. The cable's construction adheres to Cat6 performance parameters to support reliable Ethernet links at typical Cat6 frequencies.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in server rooms and network closets
• Linking workstations, printers or AV equipment to wall outlets or patch panels
• High-density racks and installations where cable identification is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where screened cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 performance class
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil shield plus individually foil-shielded twisted pairs
• Length: 15 metres
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors
• Outer jacket color: green
• Connector type: RJ45 plug terminated (standard Ethernet patch cable termination)

How to use

Use the cable to connect network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers and endpoints. Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable so it is not sharply bent and avoid running it parallel and close to power cables to minimize potential interference. When installing in racks or along cable trays, secure the cable with appropriate ties or clips, taking care not to compress or damage the outer jacket.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify that connected equipment supports Cat6 cabling and that patching fields do not exceed recommended channel lengths. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation. In environments with significant EMI, maintain proper grounding of patch panels and shielding terminations to preserve the S/FTP shielding effectiveness.
