Networking Cable Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0525 Black 2m Cat6a S/FTP

The Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0525 Black 2m Cat6a S/FTP is a 2‑metre network patch cable designed for high‑speed wired Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction and fitted with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends, this cable is intended to deliver reliable data transfer rates with improved protection against electromagnetic and radio‑frequency interference. The black jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance suitable for visible runs in home or office installations.

Advantages

Cat6a performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium distances while the S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, which helps maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. The cable’s standardized RJ‑45 terminations ensure compatibility with a wide range of network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management for desktop and rack setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Patch connections in server rooms and network cabinets at short to medium distances
• High‑speed data transfers and low‑latency applications such as streaming and online gaming
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved shielding

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 on both ends
• Color: Black
• Typical supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps (over rated distances per standard)
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs

How to use

Insert the RJ‑45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable to link devices such as a computer and router, or to create a patch between a switch and a patch panel. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For rack or wall installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories while leaving some slack to prevent stress on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel alongside high‑voltage power lines and maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter. Use the 2 m length for connections where short, direct runs minimize excess cable. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or connector is compromised.
