Networking Cable Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0504 Blue 0.5m

The Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0504 Blue 0.5m is a short networking cable built to Cat6a standard with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. At 0.5 m length and a striking blue jacket, this cable is intended for reliable high-speed data links in dense cabling environments where signal integrity and minimized crosstalk are important. The cable supports modern Ethernet systems and is suitable for tight patching runs between switches, patch panels and devices in home or office networks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and provides improved protection against crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. The Cat6a rating supports higher frequencies and data rates required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure broad compatibility with network devices and patch panels. The 0.5 m length helps maintain neat cable management in racks or desktop setups while the blue jacket provides clear visual identification among multiple runs.

Suitable for

• Patching between network switches and patch panels in server rooms and wiring closets
• Connecting desktop devices to nearby wall ports or small network hubs
• Short runs in structured cabling where shielding is required to limit interference
• Environments with dense cabling where color-coding simplifies identification

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall screen with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket color: Blue
• Intended application: Ethernet data transmission (including 10G over short distances)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for short patching runs between switches, patch panels and end devices. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius for balanced-pair cables to preserve shielding effectiveness and signal integrity. When routing near strong electrical sources, keep the cable separated or use conduit to further reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within organized patch panels or cable management systems to prevent strain and maintain bend radius. Choose this short Cat6a S/FTP cable when you need shielded connections in areas with potential EMI or where clear color-coding simplifies maintenance. Verify connector seating and test links after installation to confirm expected throughput.
