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

Shielded patch cable Datwyler Cat.6 S/FTP (Class E) with CU 7702 flex LS0H conductors and Hirose TM21 connector, length 5 m, blue, provides reliable Ethernet connectivity for environments that require twisted-pair shielding. The cable construction uses S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting Cat.6/Class E performance for gigabit networks. The Hirose TM21 connector ensures compact, secure termination compatible with network devices, patch panels and switches where a small form-factor connector is required.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design offers improved protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference compared with unshielded cables. CU 7702 flex LS0H conductors combine flexibility with low-smoke, halogen-free jacket material for safer use in confined or public spaces. The 5 m length balances reach and minimal signal loss for typical rack-to-desk or patch-panel connections. The Hirose TM21 connector provides a robust mechanical connection with a compact footprint suitable for dense installations.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, patch panels and network devices in commercial or data center racks
• Ethernet links requiring Cat.6/Class E performance and reduced EMI
• Environments where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is mandated
• Applications needing compact Hirose TM21 termination for space-constrained panels

How to use

Connect one end of the Datwyler Cat.6 S/FTP patch cable to the network port of a switch, patch panel or network device and the other end to the corresponding port of the target device. Ensure proper grounding of shielded systems by connecting equipment racks and patch panels to a common ground to maintain shielding effectiveness. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and proximity to high-current power lines to preserve signal integrity. Verify link status and speed on connected devices after installation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal shielding performance, use the cable with shielded patch panels and shielded switch ports where possible, and follow grounding best practices. Avoid tight bends (minimum bend radius typically several times the cable diameter) and excessive pulling force during installation. Use this cable for short to medium patch runs up to 5 m to maintain guaranteed Cat.6/Class E performance.
