Datwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat.6 (Class E) CU 7702 flex LS0H, Hirose TM21, 5 m, gray

Datwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat.6 (Class E) CU 7702 flex LS0H, terminated with a Hirose TM21 connector and supplied in a 5 m length, is a shielded Ethernet patch cable intended for structured cabling environments. The S/FTP topology combines an overall foil shield with individually foiled twisted pairs to reduce alien crosstalk and improve immunity to electromagnetic interference. The cable’s CU 7702 flex conductor and LS0H sheath are designed to offer a balance of flexibility and safety for installations in office, data center and light industrial environments.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction delivers enhanced protection against EMI and crosstalk compared to unshielded cables, supporting stable high-speed Ethernet links. CU 7702 flex conductors provide flexibility for routing in patch panels and tight spaces while maintaining reliable signal transmission. The LS0H (low smoke zero halogen) outer sheath reduces harmful emissions in case of fire and is suitable for installations where material safety is a requirement. A factory-terminated Hirose TM21 connector ensures consistent contact quality and simplifies deployment.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in data centers and server rooms
• Office network cabling and patch panels
• Industrial and automation networks requiring EMI protection
• High-density rack and cabinet installations with tight cable routing

• Cable shielding: S/FTP — overall foil plus foil on each twisted pair
• Conductor type: copper flexible conductor (CU 7702 flex)
• Sheath material: LS0H (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector: Hirose TM21, factory-terminated
• Length: 5 m
• Color: gray

How to use

Connect one end of the patch cable to the network port on the device or patch panel and the other end to the switch, router, or wall outlet. Ensure the Hirose TM21 connectors are fully seated and retention features engage to maintain secure contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain bend radii in line with standard practice for patch cables to preserve signal integrity. For installations within racks and cabinets, segregate shielded and unshielded cables as required by site grounding practices.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this shielded Cat.6 patch cable with compatible shielded connectors and properly grounded patch panels or outlets. Avoid excessive mechanical stress and keep within the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius. In environments with strict fire-safety requirements, the LS0H sheath helps limit toxic fumes and dense smoke.
