Network cable Dätwyler Cat6a RJ45–RJ45 2 m S/FTP (S‑STP) Yellow 10 Gbit/s

Dätwyler Cat6a RJ45–RJ45 2 m S/FTP (S‑STP) Yellow 10 Gbit/s is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. The cable meets Cat6a performance requirements and supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s). It features RJ45 connectors on both ends and a 2 m length suitable for desktop setups, patch panels and rack-mounted systems. The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines an overall braid with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in environments with potential EMI sources.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded alternatives, ensuring more stable throughput at higher frequencies. Its Cat6a specification guarantees performance to 500 MHz, which supports 10 Gbit/s applications over the 2 m span. The molded RJ45 connectors deliver reliable contact and a compact plug profile that fits standard network ports and patch panels. The yellow jacket offers clear visual identification for organized cabling in professional installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections between switches, routers and workstations
• Server and NAS connections requiring 10 Gbit/s throughput
• Patch panel and rack patching in data centers or server rooms
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred
• Desktop or office setups where a short, fixed-length patch cable is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ45 – RJ45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Frequency rating: up to 500 MHz
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper
• Jacket color: yellow

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of the source device (such as a switch, router or workstation) and the other RJ45 connector into the target device (such as a server, NAS or another network port). Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to establish a secure connection. For best performance, avoid excessive bending or crushing of the cable near the connectors and maintain the cable within recommended bend radii. Use the 2 m length for short links, desktop connections or patch panel routing inside racks.

Usage recommendations

Use this shielded Cat6a cable where 10 Gbit/s throughput and interference protection are required. Install in accordance with standard cabling practices: separate power and data runs where possible, terminate and test connections at both ends, and label cables for easier identification. If connecting to equipment that lacks proper grounding for shielded cabling, verify system grounding to ensure the shield functions correctly.
