LANBERG Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) networking cable PCF6-10CU-0500-R, 5 m, RJ-45, Red, 1000 Mbit/s

LANBERG Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) networking cable PCF6-10CU-0500-R is a 5 m patch cord with RJ-45 connectors on both ends designed for Ethernet connections, patch panels, switches and routers in structured cabling. The cable features S/FTP shielding (aluminium foil around each pair plus an overall braid) and stranded pure copper conductors, providing reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity. It supports data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s and is finished in red LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for enhanced safety in enclosed spaces.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers strong protection against electromagnetic interference by combining pair-level foil with an overall braided screen, which helps maintain stable data transmission in environments with multiple active cables and electronic equipment. Stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for patching and frequent re-routing while ensuring reliable conductivity. The LSZH outer sheath reduces smoke and hazardous gas emissions in case of fire, meeting modern building safety preferences. Compliance with Fluke testing confirms consistent category performance for installation and verification.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office networks
• Patch cabling in server rooms and data closets
• Structured cabling projects requiring shielded Cat6 links
• Short to medium length Ethernet connections up to 5 m

How to use

Ensure both network devices are powered off or on maintenance mode before connecting. Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port on your switch, router or patch panel until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve shielding integrity. Once connected, power on devices and verify link status and speed through device LEDs or management interfaces. For permanent installations, label each end to match your patching documentation.

Usage recommendations

Use this LANBERG Cat6 S/FTP patch cord for short patch runs and connections where shielding and LSZH properties are required. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close contact with high-voltage power wiring to minimize residual interference. For optimal performance in high-density or high-speed environments, verify termination and test links with appropriate certification tools.
