S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Dätwyler 21.05.0014 Blue 1m

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in blue, 1 m length, is a shielded network patch lead designed for reliable Ethernet connections. Constructed with individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall foil shield, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain signal integrity at Gigabit speeds. Its compact 1 m length is suitable for short interconnections between network equipment, patch panels, switches and workstations where a neat and protected connection is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP configuration provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, which supports consistent throughput in environments with nearby electrical equipment or dense cabling. Cat6 performance ensures support for Gigabit Ethernet and improved headroom for higher-frequency signals. The blue jacket provides visual identification for organized cabling runs, while the short 1 m length reduces excess cable slack and improves rack and desk tidiness. Connectors and termination are built to industry-standard dimensions for compatibility with RJ45 ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in small racks and telecom cabinets
• Desktop connections between computers, VoIP phones and wall outlets
• Short runs in home networks and office workstations
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually shielded twisted pairs with overall foil)
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: Blue
• Connector type: RJ45 compatible
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Insert each end of the patch cable into the RJ45 ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring secure seating until the connector latch clicks. Use the 1 m cable for short interconnections between network equipment, patch panels, switches and endpoint devices. Avoid tight bends near the connector boots and do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius to preserve shielding and pair geometry. For installations in shielded systems, ensure connectors and panel ports are properly grounded to maintain the shield's effectiveness.

Recommendations

For best performance, route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources; keep patch lengths short to reduce signal degradation. Verify link speed and duplex settings after installation and use a certified cable tester if confirming performance or diagnosing connectivity issues.
