Networking Cable Dätwyler Cat. 6a RJ45 - RJ45 0.5m Yellow

The Dätwyler Cat. 6a RJ45 - RJ45 0.5m Yellow networking cable is a short, shielded patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Featuring S/FTP shielding and a Cat. 6a specification, this cable supports up to 10,000 Mbit/s data transfer rates and is intended for use in environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable signal integrity are required. The 0.5 meter length and bright yellow jacket make it suitable for patch panels, switches and tightly spaced network connections where clear cable identification is needed.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around the conductor pairs and an overall foil shield minimize crosstalk and external interference, improving signal stability in dense or electrically noisy installations. The Cat. 6a performance rating enables support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short channel lengths, while the compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cable clutter. The yellow outer jacket provides visual distinction for easier cable management and tracing within racks and patch fields.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports and patch panels in data cabinets
• Connecting network devices in server rooms and wiring closets
• Short horizontal connections where colour-coded identification is required
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are preferred

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 6a (Cat. 6a)
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded Foiled Twisted Pair with overall foil)
• Maximum data rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Outer jacket colour: Yellow

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network switch or patch panel port and the other RJ45 connector into the target device or adjacent patch port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; keep the cable slack-free but not under tension. Use the yellow colour to map and label connections according to your organisation's cable management scheme.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat. 6a S/FTP patch cable for short links within racks and cabinets and combine with compatible shielded connectors and properly grounded patch panels to maintain shield continuity. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference despite the shielding.
