S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Dätwyler 15m Black

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 15m in black is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and network patching. Constructed with S/FTP (shielded foil twisted pair) topology, the cable reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity over its 15-metre length. The flexible jacket and stranded conductor construction support easy routing in racks, underfloor trays and between equipment in home or office environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides strong protection against near-end crosstalk and EMI, supporting reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance. At 15 metres, the cable offers extended reach for workstation and network device connections without introducing unnecessary signal loss when used within standard Ethernet run distances. The black jacket offers a discreet appearance for visible runs, and the cable’s flexibility simplifies installation in confined spaces and cable management systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and wall outlets in LAN environments
• Workstation connections in offices and home offices
• Patch cabling in server rooms where shielded cabling is required
• Temporary or permanent network links for AV equipment and IP devices

Key specifications

• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid or foil plus individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 15 m
• Color: Black
• Conductor type: Stranded conductors for flexibility
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Supported data rates: Up to Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and suitable for frequencies to Cat6 specification

How to use

Route the 15 m S/FTP patch cable between network devices ensuring connectors are fully seated in RJ45 ports. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. If connecting to shielded equipment or chassis, ensure proper grounding of the cable shields at one or both ends according to your site grounding policy. Test the link after installation with appropriate cable testers or network diagnostics to confirm continuity and performance.

Recommendations

Use the shielded Cat6 patch cable in environments with potential electromagnetic interference or where improved immunity to crosstalk is required. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and noisy electrical equipment where possible, and secure connectors with strain relief in permanent installations to reduce mechanical stress.
