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

Short 0.5 m Dätwyler Cat6a patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. The cable supports up to 10 Gbit/s Ethernet and features S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding with an overall braid and individual foil around each pair to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The compact length and robust RJ45 plugs make this cable suitable for dense installations in server racks, switches and patch panels. The orange jacket provides clear visual identification for structured cabling and quick tracing in patch fields.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction delivers enhanced protection against external interference while minimizing pair-to-pair crosstalk, preserving signal integrity at 10 Gbit/s. A half-meter length reduces cable slack and clutter in confined areas, improving airflow and cable management in racks and network cabinets. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable mating and corrosion resistance. The bright orange jacket aids rapid identification of specific links or functions within a larger cabling system.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbit/s in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections with limited space
• Short runs inside racks, cabinets, and network enclosures where cable management is critical
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal quality

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil around each pair)
• Maximum data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Conductor: stranded copper suitable for patch cords
• Jacket color: orange
• Typical use: patching and short horizontal or rack connections

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding RJ45 socket on switches, servers or patch panels until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m length to create tidy, short interconnects between adjacent ports; avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile force on the cable to preserve shielding integrity. For best performance, maintain proper bend radius and route the cable to minimize crossing power cables or other potential sources of interference.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbit/s operation, verify that connected equipment and infrastructure (switch ports, patch panels and NICs) support Cat6a performance. When installing multiple cables, maintain organized routing and use cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors. Choose the orange jacket for links that need clear visual identification within the cabling topology.
