Networking cable GEMBIRD Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) 2 m RJ-45 to RJ-45 orange

GEMBIRD Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) networking cable, 2 m in length, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. The cable uses S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually screened pairs) to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, and is intended for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling installations where Cat6 performance is required. The orange jacket provides high visibility for easy identification in patch panels, comms cabinets and cable runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP design offers improved protection against near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and external EMI compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting stable high-speed data transfer. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance for long-term connections. The 2 m length is practical for desk, patch panel and short-run applications, while the bright orange outer jacket simplifies cable management and identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections (1000BASE-T)
• Structured cabling in offices and data closets
• Connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• Short horizontal runs for workstations and networked devices
• Installations where cable identification and EMI protection are important

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket color: orange
• Intended speed: Gigabit Ethernet support

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device (such as a computer, switch or router) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the network equipment. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the locking tab clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and close proximity to strong sources of electromagnetic interference; the shielding provides improved protection but correct routing helps preserve signal quality. For structured installations, label both ends as needed and secure the cable with appropriate ties or cable management accessories.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for short to medium patching runs where Gigabit performance and EMI protection are required. Avoid excessive bending radii and physical strain on connectors, and keep the cable dry and unobstructed by heat sources. The orange jacket is useful for color-coded installations; combine with compatible patch panels and shielded ports to maintain shielding continuity.
