Networking Cable Dätwyler Cat. 6a RJ45 - RJ45 1m

The Dätwyler Cat. 6a RJ45 - RJ45 1m is a 1‑metre network patch cable designed for high‑speed wired Ethernet connections. Engineered to support data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s, the cable uses Cat6a specifications and S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ‑45 connectors for straightforward installation in switches, routers, patch panels and network devices; the cable comes in a blue jacket for easy identification within structured cabling systems.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (shielded foiled twisted pair) enhances signal integrity by providing individual pair foil and an overall braid, which lowers noise and maintains performance over the full 1 m length. The Cat6a design supports higher frequencies compared with previous categories, enabling reliable 10GBASE‑T operation at short distances. Standard RJ‑45 terminations ensure compatibility with widely used networking hardware and simplify replacement or reconfiguration.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links in server rooms and rack cabinets
• High‑speed connections between switches, routers and network appliances
• Workstation or desktop connections requiring stable, low‑interference links
• Structured cabling installations where S/FTP shielding is specified

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6a
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall braid with foil around each twisted pair)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Typical application frequency range: up to 500 MHz
• Cable jacket colour: blue

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 end to the network device (switch, router or wall outlet) and the other end to the target device (server, PC or network appliance). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and verify link/activity LEDs on your equipment to confirm a successful connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the 1 m cable and keep it separated from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as power lines or large motors.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for short‑run 10GBASE‑T connections and in environments where shielding is required to meet noise or crosstalk constraints. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace if the latch or contacts are compromised. Store spare cables coiled without sharp bends and keep them away from heat sources to preserve jacket integrity.
