S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Draka Comteq 20m Yellow

The Draka Comteq S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 20m in yellow is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed network connections. Constructed with individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall foil shield, this Cat6 patch cord reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain signal integrity across a 20-metre run. The cable’s robust jacket and connectors support consistent performance in structured cabling installations, while the yellow sheath helps identify links in complex cable management setups.

Advantages

This S/FTP Cat6 cable provides improved noise immunity compared with unshielded alternatives by combining pair-level shielding with an overall shield, which is beneficial in environments with electrical noise or dense cable bundles. The 20 m length allows flexible placement between network equipment without additional splices. Durable construction and reliable RJ45 terminations offer stable throughput for applications up to Gigabit Ethernet and support for bandwidth-demanding traffic.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server rooms where reduced interference is required
• Office networks and structured cabling backbones
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming and large file transfers
• Environments requiring clear cable identification and organised patch panels

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (S/FTP) with individually shielded pairs and overall foil shield
• Length: 20 metres
• Conductor: twisted pair copper conductors suitable for Ethernet signalling
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated patch cord
• Colour: yellow jacket for easy identification
• Typical use: supports Gigabit Ethernet performance and elevated bandwidth applications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other end to the target device or port. Ensure connectors are fully seated to establish a solid electrical and mechanical connection. Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain; maintain proper separation from power cables where possible. For installations in shielded environments, verify proper grounding of the cable shield at the patch panel or equipment chassis according to site grounding practices.

Recommendations

Choose this 20 m S/FTP Cat6 patch cable when you need a shielded link to reduce interference over medium-distance runs and when visual distinction with a yellow jacket will aid in maintenance and troubleshooting. Avoid tight bends near the connectors, and confirm shield grounding in mixed or earthed installations for optimal EMI protection.
