Networking cable Dätwyler Cat6a RJ45–RJ45 1 m Orange S/FTP (S-STP) 10 Gbit/s

Dätwyler Cat6a RJ45–RJ45 patch cable, 1 m length in orange, is designed for high-speed Ethernet connections that require consistent 10 Gbit/s performance over short runs. The cable uses S/FTP (also called S‑STP) shielding to provide an overall braid plus individually shielded pairs, which reduces alien crosstalk and electromagnetic interference in dense cabling environments. This compact 1 m patch lead is intended for interconnecting switches, servers and patch panels in data centres, server rooms and office network racks.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external EMI and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded or foil-only cables. Cat6a construction supports 10 Gbit/s data rates up to the relevant channel length and maintains consistent insertion loss and return loss characteristics for short patch runs. The orange jacket improves visual identification in structured cabling installations, while the RJ45–RJ45 termination offers a straightforward plug-and-play connection for standard Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet patching between switches and servers in racks
• Connections between patch panels and network switches in data centres
• Short horizontal or equipment-level cabling in office networks
• Environments where reduced EMI and reliable high-speed links are required

How to use

Insert each RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your network devices until the latch clicks. Use the 1 m patch cable to connect adjacent equipment within a rack or link a switch to a patch panel. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that cable bend radius is respected during routing. For best performance, avoid routing the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or large electrical machinery to minimise external interference.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbit/s operation, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short patch runs and equipment-level connections in shielded or partially shielded installations. Maintain recommended bend radius, avoid kinking, secure plugs to prevent strain on terminations, and verify links with appropriate network test equipment when commissioning critical connections.
