LANBERG Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) patch cable 0.25 m, RJ‑45 — PCF6-10CU-0025-B, blue

The LANBERG Cat6 S/FTP (S‑STP) patch cable 0.25 m (PCF6-10CU-0025-B) is a short, shielded network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends designed for reliable Ethernet interconnections. This Cat6 patchcord features overall shielding with individual pair foil and an additional braided shield to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The cable uses stranded copper conductors and an LSZH outer sheath, making it suitable for short runs between patch panels, switches and workstations in office and home networks while maintaining signal integrity up to gigabit speeds.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines a conductive outer braid with foil around each twisted pair to minimise alien crosstalk and protect against external noise sources. The stranded pure copper conductors ensure flexibility for installation in racks and patch panels, while the LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. The cable has been tested with Fluke equipment to confirm category compliance and consistent transmission performance, providing a compact and dependable solution for short interconnects.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and switch-to-switch short links in server rooms and comms cabinets
• Connections from wall outlets to desktop PCs or VoIP phones
• Patch cord use in structured cabling closets and network racks
• Temporary or permanent short-length links in office and home networks

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector into the appropriate Ethernet port on each device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that the cable is not sharply bent near the connector ends or routed under tension. Use this 0.25 m patch cable for short interconnections inside racks, between adjacent switch ports, or from wall outlets to devices. Verify link status and speed on connected devices after installation to confirm a proper connection.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid bundling the patch cord tightly with power cables or routing it across sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use the 0.25 m length in situations where a short, tidy connection is required to minimise excess cable management. If links exceed the intended short distance or require higher bandwidth than gigabit, use a longer or higher-category cable appropriate for the application.
