S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Dätwyler 21.05.0050 Grey 5m

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in grey, 5 m length, is a shielded Ethernet connection cable designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. Constructed with screened foil over each twisted pair and an overall braid, this S/FTP Cat6 patch lead reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity at Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The 5-meter length offers flexible placement between network devices in offices, data cabinets and home setups while the modular RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard network interfaces.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP design provides enhanced shielding around each twisted pair plus an overall screen, improving resistance to near-end crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded alternatives. Cat6 performance supports higher bandwidth and improved return loss characteristics for applications up to 250 MHz, helping to sustain stable Gigabit connections. The grey jacket is durable and suitable for visible runs, and the standardized RJ45 terminations allow plug-and-play connection to switches, routers, patch panels and NICs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and workstations in office networks
• High-speed home network links and multimedia streaming
• Server rooms and data cabinets where reduced EMI and crosstalk are required
• Temporary or permanent patching in structured cabling installations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (S/FTP) with individually shielded pairs and overall braid
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 modular plugs on both ends
• Shielding: Foil around each pair plus overall braided screen
• Colour: Grey
• Frequency rating: up to 250 MHz
• Data rates: suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) and compatible with lower-speed Ethernet standards

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (for example, a switch, router or wall outlet) and the other connector into the target device such as a PC, NAS or access point. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, excessive tension or proximity to large mains power cables to preserve shielding effectiveness and maintain performance. For permanent installations, verify connector seating and strain relief at both ends.

Recommendations

Use the S/FTP Cat6 patch cable in environments where electromagnetic interference may affect unshielded cables, and choose appropriate grounding and earthing practices for shielded cabling in accordance with local installation standards. For runs longer than the specified patch length, combine with certified horizontal cabling components to maintain overall link performance.
