S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Dätwyler 21.05.0011 Red 1m

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in red, 1m, is a shielded Ethernet cable engineered for stable high-speed networking. It uses individually shielded twisted pairs with an overall foil shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, delivering consistent performance for Gigabit Ethernet connections. The 1 metre length and bright red jacket simplify installation and cable identification in structured cabling environments, server racks, patch panels and desktop setups.

Advantages

This S/FTP Cat6 cable offers improved noise immunity compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The S/FTP construction provides reliable data transmission at gigabit speeds, while the 1m length is convenient for short patching runs. The durable outer jacket protects the internal conductors from mechanical wear and bending, and the red colour enhances visual organisation of network runs.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in data centres and wiring closets
• Connecting desktop computers, workstations and IP devices to local network outlets
• Short interconnects in server racks where shielded cabling is required
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where improved shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (S/FTP)
• Shielding: Individual pair foil shields plus overall foil (S/FTP)
• Length: 1 metre
• Conductor type: Twisted pairs, solid or stranded conductors depending on patch design
• Connector type: RJ45 termination on both ends (8P8C compatible)
• Colour: Red jacket for easy identification
• Supported standards: Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and backward compatible with Fast Ethernet

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, patch panel or network outlet) and the other plug to the target device such as a computer or server. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinch points and proximity to high-voltage power lines to maintain shielding effectiveness. For rack installations, use cable management panels or ties to secure runs and preserve bend radius.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable length within the specified 1m and avoid excessive bending or crushing of the jacket. In environments with significant EMI, pair this S/FTP cable with grounded shielded patch panels and connectors to ensure the cable shield is properly terminated. Use colour-coded cables like red to mark critical circuits or segregate different network zones for easier maintenance.
