Dätwyler Cat6a RJ45–RJ45 5 m S/FTP (S-STP) networking cable Red 10 Gbit/s

Dätwyler Cat6a RJ45–RJ45 5 m S/FTP (S‑STP) networking cable in red is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high‑speed LAN and professional network environments. The cable features RJ‑45 connectors on both ends, a 5‑metre length for flexible placement, and S/FTP (screened foil twisted pair) shielding to minimise alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. It supports data rates up to 10 Gbit/s and is intended for installations where signal integrity and identifiable cable routing are important.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction provides improved immunity to external EMI and reduces internal and external crosstalk, helping to maintain stable 10 Gbit/s throughput over the 5 m span. The cable’s red outer jacket allows quick visual identification in dense cabling environments and aids structured cable management. Factory‑terminated RJ‑45 connectors ensure a consistent, reliable connection compatible with standard 8P8C ports used in servers, switches and network equipment.

Suitable for

• High‑speed LAN connections requiring 10 Gbit/s performance
• Server rooms, data centres and rack‑mounted networking equipment
• Professional installations needing reduced crosstalk and EMI protection
• Applications where colour‑coded cabling simplifies identification and maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Cat6)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 (8P8C)
• Length: 5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Maximum supported data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Jacket colour: Red
• Typical use: Patch cable for horizontal and rack connections

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the network device (switch, router or server) and the other end to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure link. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive stretching and proximity to strong EMI sources when possible. For installations in racks or cable trays, use colour‑coded management practices to keep paths organised and to help future maintenance or troubleshooting.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable length within recommended distances for Cat6a patching and avoid bundling large numbers of cables without adequate separation. Verify network equipment supports 10 Gbit/s operation and test links after installation with appropriate certification or network testing tools where required.
