S/FTP Patch Cable Draka Comteq Cat6 Blue 2m

The Draka Comteq S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in blue, 2m length, is a shielded network cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. Constructed with individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall foil braid, this S/FTP Cat6 patch cord reduces electromagnetic and crosstalk interference to maintain signal integrity across common Ethernet applications. The cable's 2 meter length and durable blue jacket make it suitable for connecting devices in home and office networks where controlled routing and modest reach are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides enhanced protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives, improving performance in environments with nearby power lines or dense cabling. As a Cat6 patch cable, it supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and provides predictable, consistent transmission characteristics up to the standard frequency for Cat6. The blue outer sheath offers visible cable identification while the RJ45 connectors are built for secure mating and frequent insertions.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers in small office and home networks
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to device connections in structured cabling
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and improved shielding are required
• Temporary or permanent wiring where a 2 m reach is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding type: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall braid)
• Length: 2 m
• Conductor: stranded copper for flexibility
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Outer jacket color: blue

How to use

Route the 2m S/FTP Cat6 cable between the two networking devices ensuring connectors are aligned with RJ45 ports and fully inserted until a click is felt. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. When routing near mains or power equipment, use the cable's shielding to help reduce interference but keep some distance from high-voltage lines where possible. For panel or rack installations, secure the cable to avoid strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within standard Cat6 distance guidelines for channel segments and avoid connecting through damaged connectors or excessively bent sections. If installing in areas with very high electromagnetic interference, consider grounding the cable shields according to your installation standards and verify connector compatibility with shielded RJ45 ports.
