LANBERG networking cable Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) Blue 0.5 m with RJ-45 connectors

LANBERG networking cable Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) Blue 0.5 m with RJ-45 connectors is a short, flexible Cat6 patch cable designed for Gigabit Ethernet connections in racks, patch panels, switches and workstations. The cable features S/FTP shielding (aluminium braid around the whole cable plus foil around each twisted pair), LSZH sheath and RJ-45 to RJ-45 straight connectors. With a 0.5 m length and stranded pure copper conductors, it supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is intended for short patching runs where reduced crosstalk and protection against external electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) construction combines an overall aluminium braid with individual pair foil shields to minimize alien crosstalk and external EMI, ensuring stable signal transmission in dense rack environments. The LSZH outer sheath limits smoke and hazardous halogen emissions in case of fire, increasing safety in commercial and public buildings. Fluke-tested category compliance confirms measured performance parameters, while stranded copper conductors and flexible jacket enable convenient routing and repeated connections in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and servers in data cabinets
• Workstation to wall outlet or desktop switch connections
• Interconnects in telecommunications closets and small wiring closets
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved crosstalk protection

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network switch, patch panel or outlet and the other plug to the device or port you intend to link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short runs inside racks or between adjacent panels; avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. Inspect connectors and cable for visible damage before installation.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this LANBERG Cat6 S/FTP patch cable for short patching runs where Gigabit speeds and reduced interference are required. Maintain bend radius greater than manufacturer recommendations, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines where possible, and verify link speed and stability after installation using network diagnostic tools or switch port LEDs.
