Network cable Dätwyler Cat6a RJ45–RJ45 0.5 m S/FTP (S-STP) red 10 Gbit/s

Dätwyler Cat6a RJ45–RJ45 0.5 m S/FTP (S‑STP) red patch cable is a short, high-performance Ethernet connection cable engineered for 10 Gbit/s networks. The cable conforms to Cat6a specifications and uses S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs) shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with RJ‑45 connectors and the compact 0.5 m length is intended for tight rack, patch panel and switch connections where low slack and consistent high‑speed throughput are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction provides improved protection against external EMI and preserves signal integrity at multi‑gigabit speeds. Cat6a specification ensures support for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet and better performance margin compared with lower category cables. The 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and routing complexity in dense equipment racks and patch panels, while the red jacket improves visual identification for network segmentation. Factory‑terminated RJ‑45 connectors guarantee a consistent mechanical fit and predictable electrical contact.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switch ports and patch panels in server racks
• Direct links between network devices in telecommunications cabinets
• High‑density wiring closets and structured cabling where minimal slack is desired
• Situations requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable 10 Gbit/s throughput

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, factory‑terminated
• Color: red
• Intended use: patch cable for horizontal and equipment connections

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your network devices until the latch clicks. Use the cable to link switches, patch panels and servers over short distances, avoiding excessive bending or tensile stress. Route the cable along designated cable management paths or tie points to keep the installation tidy and to prevent strain on the connectors. For high‑density racks, plan ports and cable paths to preserve airflow and access to equipment.

Usage recommendations

Do not bend the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and avoid pulling force that could damage the connector termination. For optimal 10 Gbit/s performance, pair this Cat6a cable with compatible Cat6a or higher rated ports and maintain proper grounding of equipment to maximize the benefit of S/FTP shielding.
