S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Dätwyler 21.05.0034 Blue 3m

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Blue 3m provides a shielded, high-performance connection for Ethernet networks requiring stable data transfer. Constructed with individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall foil shield, the cable reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity across a 3 meter link. Its Cat6 specification supports gigabit Ethernet and common structured cabling applications in small office and residential environments.

Advantages

This S/FTP cable offers improved noise immunity compared with unshielded alternatives thanks to foil shielding around each pair plus an overall screen. The Cat6 design supports higher frequencies and better return loss characteristics than earlier categories, while the 3 m length provides flexible placement between devices without excess cable slack. The blue jacket enables easy visual identification in patch panels and rack installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers in home or office networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in small data closets
• Gigabit Ethernet links and PoE devices where shielding is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (S/FTP)
• Conductor arrangement: Shielded twisted pairs with overall foil shield
• Length: 3 m
• Jacket color: Blue
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Supported applications: 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet, PoE
• Typical impedance: 100 Ohm (nominal)

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the Ethernet ports of the devices you wish to connect, ensuring the connectors click into place. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain a bend radius appropriate for Ethernet patch cables to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For installations in racks or patch panels, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use the S/FTP Cat6 cable in areas where reduced electromagnetic interference is desirable, for example near power supplies or dense electronic equipment. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances and replace any cable showing physical damage or connector wear to maintain reliable network performance.
