S/FTP Patch Cable Draka Comteq Cat6 Grey 10m

The S/FTP Patch Cable Draka Comteq Cat6 Grey 10m is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed wired networks. Constructed with S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs), this Cat6 cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting reliable data transmission up to 10 Gbps over suitable channel lengths. The 10-metre grey cable is intended for structured cabling, patch panels, switches and devices where improved signal integrity and durable physical construction are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides comprehensive protection against external noise and internal pair-to-pair interference, improving signal stability in environments with many electrical devices. As a Cat6-rated cable, it supports higher bandwidths and better performance compared with lower-category cables. The 10 m length offers flexibility for connecting equipment across rooms or between racks without intermediate joins, and the grey jacket delivers a neutral aesthetic suitable for visible installations. The cable’s build quality is aimed at consistent performance and longevity in both residential and commercial settings.

Подходит для

• Подключение настольных компьютеров, серверов и сетевого оборудования к коммутаторам и маршрутизаторам
• Соединение патч-панелей и шкафов связи в офисах и дата-центрах
• Организация домашних и офисных гигабитных и мультигигабитных сетей
• Ситуации с высоким уровнем электромагнитных помех, требующие экранированных кабелей

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6, suitable for gigabit and multi-gigabit applications
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs
• Length: 10 metres
• Conductor: twisted pairs, copper (solid or stranded variants typical for patch cables)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends (8P8C)
• Color: Grey
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbps over appropriate channel lengths

How to use

Route the S/FTP Cat6 patch cable between the network device and the switch, router or patch panel, avoiding tight bends and excessive pulling force. Insert the RJ45 connectors fully into the corresponding ports until they latch. If using in an environment with grounded equipment, ensure shields on connected devices and patch panels are properly grounded to maximize shielding effectiveness. For best performance, maintain proper cable management and avoid running the cable in parallel with power lines for extended distances.

Использование и рекомендации

Для обеспечения стабильной работы кабеля и максимального уровня защиты от помех рекомендуется прокладывать кабель так, чтобы минимизировать перегибы и механические нагрузки, а при подключении к оборудованию с экранированными портами — обеспечить надежное заземление экрана. При укладке вблизи силовых кабелей держите расстояние и по возможности используйте отдельные кабель-каналы.
