S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Draka Comteq 2m Grey

The Draka Comteq S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 2m in grey is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for stable, high-speed network connections. With S/FTP construction, each twisted pair is foil‑shielded and the entire cable has an overall braid shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The 2‑metre length is suited for short runs between wall sockets, switches and network devices in home and office environments where Cat6 performance and signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The double-shielded S/FTP design improves resistance to external interference and helps maintain consistent data throughput at Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Cat6 wiring supports higher bandwidth and better alien crosstalk performance compared with lower categories. The 2 m length provides a compact, tidy connection without excess cable, while the grey jacket offers neutral aesthetics that blend with most interiors. Robust conductor and shielding construction contributes to long-term reliability in standard networking installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels within data cabinets and workstations
• Short to medium indoor runs in home and small office networks
• Gigabit Ethernet and applications requiring stable throughput and low interference
• Environments where improved shielding is needed near other cabling or electronic equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs + overall braid)
• Length: 2 metres
• Colour: Grey
• Connectors: RJ45 terminated (8P8C)
• Suitable bandwidth and performance for Gigabit Ethernet up to 1 Gbit/s over recommended distances

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other connector into the corresponding port on your switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Avoid sharp bends or tight loops near the cable ends and maintain gentle bend radii to preserve shielding and pair geometry. For fixed installations, route the cable along paths that minimise exposure to high-power electrical equipment to reduce potential interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP patch cable for connections within the recommended 2 m run and pair it with other shielded components if working in high-interference environments. Verify that both connected devices support Gigabit Ethernet when seeking maximum throughput; if connecting to structured cabling systems, ensure proper grounding of shielded components according to installation standards.
