Networking cable Datwyler 21.05.0020 Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ-45–RJ-45 2 m Grey

Datwyler 21.05.0020 is a 2 m Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) networking patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for structured cabling systems where reduced crosstalk and electromagnetic interference are required. The cable combines individually shielded twisted pairs with an overall braided shield to maintain signal integrity for gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications in office, server rack, and residential environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides foil shielding around each pair plus an overall braided screen, improving protection against near-end crosstalk and external EMI compared with unshielded cables. Cat6 specification supports higher bandwidth and reduced alien crosstalk compared with earlier categories, and the pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors enable immediate plug-and-play deployment. The 2 m length offers flexibility for short patch runs between wall outlets, switches, and network devices, while the grey jacket delivers discreet integration into typical IT and office environments.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Server rack and patch panel linking within cabinets
• Office desktop and workstation Ethernet connections
• Home network connections requiring improved EMI protection

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance class
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil around pairs + overall braided shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 plug to RJ-45 plug, straight
• Length: 2 m
• Color: Grey
• Installation type: Pre-terminated patch cable for horizontal and equipment connections

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to a network device such as a switch, router or network interface on a computer and the other plug to the corresponding port on a patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a reliable electrical connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel and close to mains power lines to minimize interference. For rack installations, allow gentle bend radii and use cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this patch cable for short horizontal and equipment-side connections up to 2 m where Cat6 performance and additional shielding are desired. Avoid excessive twisting or pulling on the cable, and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to preserve performance.
