S/FTP Patch Cable Dätwyler Cat6 Red 7m

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in red, 7m length, is a shielded patch lead designed for structured cabling and high-speed Ethernet connections. It supports Gigabit Ethernet performance with individual pair foil shielding and an overall braid shield to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The flexible jacket and secure connectors provide stable data transmission for network devices in home, office, and data center environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction ensures improved protection against near-end crosstalk and outside interference compared to unshielded cables, resulting in more reliable throughput. Cat6 specification permits higher frequencies and better signal integrity for Gigabit applications. The 7 m length gives extended reach without additional couplers, while the bright red jacket simplifies cable identification within patch panels and cable runs. Robust conductor insulation and connector strain relief enhance durability during installation and routine handling.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and endpoints
• Patching in server rooms and telecommunications cabinets
• Office desk connections for PCs, VoIP phones and IP cameras
• Network installations requiring clear cable identification and moderate reach

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (derived from product name)
• Cable type: S/FTP (overall braid shield with foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 7 m
• Color: Red
• Connector: RJ45, 8P8C terminated (standard patch cable termination)
• Conductor material: copper (solid or stranded typical for patch cables)
• Intended application: Ethernet LAN patching, structured cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ45-terminated end of the patch cable to the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or network device and the other end to the corresponding device port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and high electromagnetic noise sources; maintain recommended bend radius to preserve performance. When replacing or extending runs, power down sensitive equipment if required by your installation practice and verify link status after connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP patch cable in shielded or properly grounded network environments; ensure shield continuity by using shielded connectors and equipment chassis ground where applicable. Label both ends as needed for identification, avoid kinking, and keep the cable separate from high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
