Networking cable Datwyler Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) 10 m — grey, RJ-45 to RJ-45

Datwyler Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) networking cable, 10 m in length and finished in grey, provides a shielded connection for structured cabling and gigabit Ethernet links. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 straight male connectors on both ends and is designed to reduce alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference through its S/FTP shielding. Its 10-metre length makes it suitable for connecting patch panels, switches, routers and devices across office or data centre racks where a reliable wired connection is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) construction combines an overall braided screen with individually foil-shielded pairs to improve immunity to EMI while maintaining consistent pair-to-pair performance. Cat6 specification supports gigabit Ethernet speeds and offers improved headroom for high-frequency signalling compared with lower categories. Factory-assembled RJ-45 connectors ensure plug-and-play use without additional termination, and the 10 m length balances flexibility with tidy cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and endpoints
• Patch panel to switch links in structured cabling setups
• Office desktop connections and workstation cabling
• Data centre horizontal links where shielding against EMI is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 straight male – both ends
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: Grey
• Installation: Pre-terminated, plug-and-play

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network switch, router or patch panel and the other end to the target device or port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted into the RJ-45 sockets until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields where possible; the built-in shielding reduces interference but good routing practice helps maintain optimal signal quality. No additional tools or termination are required for normal use.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable and maintain bend radii larger than the cable diameter. Use the cable within standard indoor environments; if used near heavy machinery or high-power electrical supplies, verify link performance after installation. When connecting into cabinets or patch panels, leave strain relief and avoid compressing the connector ends.
