Patch cable Dätwyler 21.05.0614 SFTP PiMF CAT6 halogen-free, 15 m

Dätwyler 21.05.0614 SFTP PiMF CAT6 halogen-free patch cable, 15 m, is designed for structured network installations where reduced electromagnetic interference and fire-safety characteristics are required. The cable combines SFTP overall screening with pairs in metal foil (PiMF) to limit crosstalk and external noise, and it meets CAT6 performance levels to support Gigabit Ethernet links over a 15-m patch length. The halogen-free jacket lowers the risk of corrosive and toxic gas emission in the event of a fire, making this cable suitable for installation in office, data center and industrial environments that require safer cabling materials.

Advantages

The SFTP overall shield plus pair-level metal foil construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and minimizes near-end and far-end crosstalk, improving signal integrity for high‑speed data transmission. CAT6 performance ensures compliance with defined channel and component limits for Gigabit Ethernet, providing consistent throughput over the 15 m length. A halogen-free outer jacket reduces the production of harmful gases and corrosive residues during combustion, which is important in occupied buildings and sensitive electronics areas. The cable’s design facilitates standard RJ45 terminations and integration into common patch panels and outlets.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet patching between switches and endpoints in offices and data centers
• Structured cabling in environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Installations where halogen-free materials are preferred for fire-safety reasons
• Industrial network segments with nearby electrical equipment or variable EMI sources

Key specifications

• Cable type: SFTP with pairs in metal foil (PiMF)
• Category: CAT6 (suitable for Gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 15 m
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Connectors: RJ45 terminated on both ends (standard modular plugs)
• Shielding: overall foil plus pair-level metal foil

How to use

Use the cable to connect network devices such as switches, routers, servers, workstations and patch panels within the supported 15 m reach. Ensure RJ45 connectors are fully inserted into corresponding ports until a secure latch click is felt. Route the cable away from strong sources of electrical noise where possible and avoid tight bends or crushing forces that could damage the internal pairs; the minimum bend radius recommended by the cable manufacturer should be observed. For installations requiring cable management, use appropriate cable ties, trays or patch panels to maintain serviceable routing and label both ends for easier identification.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair this CAT6 SFTP PiMF cable with compatible CAT6 or higher-rated network hardware and maintain channel lengths and connector quality per industry standards. Verify link speed and duplex settings after installation and perform cable testing if required to confirm compliance with performance criteria.
