Networking Cable Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0503 Green 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0503 Green 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP is a short, high-performance patch cable engineered for reliable Ethernet connections in congested or interference-prone environments. Built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 terminated connectors on both ends, this 0.5 metre cable supports high-speed data transmission while maintaining signal integrity. The green jacket provides visual identification in structured cabling installations and small network setups.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, especially useful where adjacent cables and electronic equipment are present. Cat6a performance allows for stable operation at higher bandwidths and frequencies compared with lower-category cables. The compact 0.5 m length minimizes excess slack, improving cable management in patch panels, racks, and desktop connections. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-run connections between switches, patch panels and servers in racks
• Desk-to-wall or desktop equipment connections where a short cable is preferred
• Environments with high EMI where S/FTP shielding improves signal reliability
• Structured cabling installations requiring color-coded patching

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor: stranded copper (for flexible patch cable use)
• Jacket color: green
• Typical supported frequencies: up to 500 MHz

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device and the other plug to the corresponding switch, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure a reliable physical and electrical connection. Use the 0.5 m length where short, direct connections are required to avoid cable slack; avoid sharp bends and kinks near the connector ends to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from large power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. In rack installations, label both ends and use color-coded cabling practices to simplify maintenance. Verify device port support for Cat6a performance when planning high-bandwidth links.
