S/FTP Patch Cable Dätwyler Cat6 Yellow 1m

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in yellow, 1m, is a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in structured networks. It supports high-speed data transmission typical of Category 6 performance and includes overall and pair-level shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable's 1 metre length and RJ45 termination make it suitable for short runs between network devices such as switches, patch panels and workstations where a compact, clearly identified connection is required.

Advantages

The cable combines S/FTP construction with Category 6 performance to provide stable throughput and reduced signal degradation in environments with potential interference. Its bright yellow jacket improves visual identification in cable management systems and racks. The cable is manufactured to provide consistent impedance and low attenuation across the specified frequency range, allowing predictable performance when used with compatible networking equipment. The flexible jacket and standard connectors facilitate straightforward installation in patching applications.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, routers and patch panels in office and data centre racks
• Short link connections to desktop PCs, VoIP phones and networked printers
• Environments where shielding is required to limit electromagnetic interference
• Colour-coded cable management and organised cabling installations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid shield plus individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Conductor type: stranded copper for patch cable flexibility
• Suitable frequency range: supports typical Cat6 bandwidths up to 250 MHz

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, patch panel or router and the other connector into the target device such as a PC, VoIP phone or access point. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. When routing the cable, avoid tight bends and sharp edges to prevent degrading the shielding and conductor integrity. For best results, use the cable within its length and category limits and pair it with compatible Cat6 or higher-rated components.

Recommendations

For installations requiring reduced interference, maintain separation from sources of strong electromagnetic noise and use shielded outlets and patch panels that support S/FTP cabling. Use colour-coding to simplify identification and replacement of patch leads; inspect connectors periodically and replace the cable if physical damage or degraded performance is observed.
