S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Dätwyler 21.05.0001 Red 0.5m

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in red, 0.5 m length, is designed for short-distance network connections where reliable high-speed data transmission and interference protection are required. Constructed with S/FTP shielding, this Cat6 patch cable reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, while allowing Gigabit Ethernet performance in cramped or patch-panel environments. Its compact 0.5 m length makes it suitable for cabinet, switch-to-patch connections, and workstation setups with limited slack.

Advantages

The cable combines stranded conductors for flexibility with S/FTP (shielded foil around each pair plus an overall braid) to improve signal integrity in environments with multiple cables and electronic equipment. The Cat6 specification supports higher bandwidth and reduced next‑and‑far‑end crosstalk compared with lower categories, enabling reliable performance for standard network services. The red jacket provides clear visual identification for network management and fault isolation.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and switches in network cabinets where short patch leads are needed
• Desktop or workstation connections with limited cable length requirements
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference that benefit from additional shielding
• Structured cabling setups requiring color-coded identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus foil shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor type: stranded conductors for flexibility
• Jacket color: red
• Connector type: RJ45 plug on both ends (8P8C)
• Intended performance: suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network switch or patch panel and the other end to the target device or patch point. Ensure connectors are fully inserted to engage the latch and establish contact. Use the 0.5 m length for short runs to avoid excess cable congestion in racks or desks; route the cable alongside existing patch leads and avoid tight bends that exceed the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius. Do not subject the cable to excessive pulling force when routing through panels or conduits.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair this Cat6 S/FTP patch cable with compatible shielded equipment and grounded patch panels to maintain the shielding continuity. Use the red color for clear circuit identification and reserve it for specific services as part of a cabling color scheme. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace any cable showing signs of deformation or compromised shielding.
