S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Draka Comteq 1m Yellow

The Draka Comteq S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 1m in yellow is a shielded Ethernet patch cable engineered for dependable wired connections in local networks. Constructed with individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall foil shield, this Cat6 cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain signal integrity over short runs. Its one-metre length and bright yellow jacket make it suitable for patching in racks, patch panels, switch ports, and tidy cable routing in both professional and home environments.

Advantages

This S/FTP Cat6 patch cable provides improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting consistent data transmission at gigabit speeds where proper grounding and shielding are used. The compact 1 m length minimizes excess slack in patch fields and reduces congestion in cable management. The durable jacket and secure RJ45 connectors deliver reliable mechanical and electrical contact for frequent plugging cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network outlets in data centers and server rooms
• Home and office gigabit Ethernet links where shielded cabling is required
• Structured cabling installations needing color-coded patching for quick identification
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where S/FTP shielding improves performance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (Class E)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid/foil with individually shielded twisted pairs
• Length: 1 metre
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, copper conductors
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: Yellow jacket for easy identification
• Typical supported data rates: up to 1 Gbps over standard distances when installed per standards

How to use

Insert each end of the patch cable into the RJ45 sockets of the devices you wish to connect, such as a switch and a patch panel or a network outlet and a workstation. Ensure that the connected equipment and the rack or panel are properly grounded to take full advantage of the S/FTP shielding. Route the cable along existing cable management pathways to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; a one-metre length is intended for short connections inside racks or between equipment on the same workstation or shelf.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, verify that connected devices support Cat6 or higher standards and that grounding requirements for shielded cabling are met. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines; use the yellow color to maintain consistent color coding across your installation for simplified maintenance and troubleshooting.
