S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Dätwyler 21.05.0104 Blue 10m

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Blue 10m is a shielded network patch cable designed for structured cabling systems and point-to-point connections. It uses individually foil-shielded twisted pairs with an overall braid shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The 10 meter length and blue jacket make it suitable for visible horizontal or rack connections in offices, data centers and home networks while maintaining standard Cat6 electrical performance for high-speed data transmission.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides improved protection against external noise and provides consistent pair-to-pair isolation for stable gigabit and multi-gigabit links. The cable jacket is color-coded blue to simplify identification and routing. Its Cat6 specification ensures compliance with common installation practices and supports applications that require reliable bandwidth and lower error rates over standard patch lengths.

Suitable for

• Office horizontal connections between wall outlets and switches
• Rack-to-rack or patch panel connections in server rooms
• Home network connections for routers, NAS and media devices
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil for each pair + overall braided shield)
• Length: 10 m
• Conductor type: twisted pairs (solid or stranded depending on manufacturer standard)
• Color: blue jacket
• Connectors: RJ45 terminated ends (8P8C) compatible with Cat6 ports
• Data rate support: suitable for gigabit Ethernet and typical multi-gigabit scenarios over short patch runs

How to use

Install the patch cable by plugging the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding network ports on switches, routers, patch panels or end devices. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. Use cable management accessories such as cable ties, trays or horizontal managers to keep the installation tidy and to reduce mechanical stress on connectors. Verify connectivity and link speed using network diagnostics or switch port indicators after installation.

Recommendations

For best long-term performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation. In environments with high electromagnetic noise, ensure proper grounding of patch panels and racks when using shielded cables. Use this Cat6 S/FTP patch cable for short to medium patch runs where shielded construction provides measurable benefits over unshielded alternatives.
