S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Draka Comteq Red 2m

The Draka Comteq S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Red 2m is a shielded network patch lead designed for reliable Ethernet connectivity in professional environments. Constructed with individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall shield, this Cat6 cable reduces electromagnetic interference and maintains signal integrity over its 2-meter length. The red jacket provides easy visual identification in patch panels and structured cabling systems while supporting high-speed data transfer suitable for modern LAN deployments.

Advantages

The S/FTP design minimizes crosstalk and external interference, improving throughput stability for demanding network tasks. A Cat6 performance rating supports data rates up to 10 Gbps over recommended distances and maintains consistent latency characteristics. The cable’s flexible yet robust outer jacket and molded connectors offer straightforward routing and long-term durability in rack, cabinet, or desktop installations.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Connecting workstations, VoIP phones, and networked printers in office environments
• Short horizontal runs within wiring closets and structured cabling systems
• Color-coded cable management to simplify identification and maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (S/FTP, screened foiled twisted pair)
• Length: 2 meters
• Conductor type: Twisted pairs with individual foil shielding and overall braid
• Connectors: RJ45 plugs, molded strain relief
• Data rate support: Up to 10 Gbps (within standard distance limits for Cat6)
• Impedance: 100 Ω nominal
• Jacket color: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or computer) and insert the other plug into the corresponding port on the opposite device. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and areas of strong electromagnetic interference from power cabling or large electrical equipment. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid excessive pulling on the cable jacket to maintain the integrity of the shielding and connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP patch cable for short to medium runs in shielded or mixed environments and maintain proper cable management to prevent strain and minimize crosstalk. When deploying in high-density racks, label both ends and follow structured cabling best practices to preserve signal quality and simplify maintenance.
