S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Dätwyler 21.05.0070 Grey 7m

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in grey, length 7 m, is a shielded network cable for structured cabling and equipment interconnection. It uses S/FTP (shielded foil around each twisted pair plus overall braid) construction to minimise electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over the cable run. The cable is intended for use in Ethernet networks up to Cat6 performance and supports multi-gigabit links where infrastructure and devices allow.

Advantages

This Cat6 S/FTP patch cable provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external noise due to individual pair foil shielding and an overall braid. The 7-metre length allows flexible placement of devices without relying on adapters or extenders. Its grey jacket offers a neutral appearance for office and residential installations while the construction is designed for consistent electrical performance and mechanical durability.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices in offices
• Home networks requiring reliable wired connections for streaming and gaming
• Server rooms and network closets with need for shielded cabling to reduce interference
• Temporary or permanent workstation setups where a 7 m reach is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (compliant with Category 6 performance)
• Shielding: S/FTP — individual pair foil plus overall braided shield
• Length: 7 metres
• Colour: Grey
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male (gold-plated contacts typical for reliable connection)
• Bandwidth and speed: suitable for frequencies up to 250 MHz and multi-gigabit Ethernet where supported
• Conductor type: stranded or solid copper conductors depending on patch cable design (optimized for patching use)
• Application environment: indoor use in office, home, server room installations

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug of the Cat6 S/FTP patch cable to the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or device and the other plug to the corresponding port on the peer device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and, where possible, avoid tight bends near the connector ends to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For best results, use this cable between network equipment in the same room or between a patch panel and active device; avoid routing in areas with excessive mechanical stress or exposure to liquids.

Usage recommendations

To maintain performance, avoid kinking the cable and keep bend radius above manufacturer guidance. When installing in environments with significant electromagnetic interference, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment and maintain shield continuity through shielded ports and compatible connectors.
