Networking Cable Dätwyler 21.05.0502 Yellow 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The Dätwyler 21.05.0502 Yellow 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data connections. It conforms to Cat6a performance, uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The half-meter length and bright yellow jacket make it suitable for dense cabling environments where clear identification and short link runs are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs, providing enhanced protection against crosstalk and external noise for stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The Cat6a specification supports higher frequency bandwidth compared with previous categories, enabling consistent throughput for demanding network applications. The compact 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in patch panels or switches, and the yellow jacket increases visibility for easier cable management and fault tracing.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet patch connections between switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and telecom racks where short runs are needed
• Structured cabling environments requiring color-coded identification
• Workspace and AV cabinets where minimal cable slack is important

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a suitable for up to 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Outer jacket color: Yellow for high visibility
• Typical application frequency range: up to 500 MHz (Cat6a)

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 connector to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use the 0.5 m cable for short patching runs to avoid excess slack; if routing through tight spaces, avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for twisted-pair cables. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong EMI sources and terminate into properly rated ports that support Cat6a links.

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat6a S/FTP cable for critical short-distance links where interference immunity and clear cable identification are required. For longer runs, select appropriately rated longer cables; for shielded installations, verify that connected equipment and infrastructure provide proper grounding for shielded cabling.
