Networking cable LOGON APR6050R Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45–RJ-45, 5 m, Red

LOGON APR6050R Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) RJ-45–RJ-45, 5 m, Red is a 5-metre Ethernet patch cable designed for Gigabit networks. The cable uses Cat6 performance class wiring with four twisted pairs of 26 AWG conductors and S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individual foil around each pair) to limit electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 straight male plugs to connect switches, routers, NAS units and workstations in home or office environments. The red low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSOH) jacket makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels and helps reduce hazardous emissions in case of fire.

Advantages

The combination of foil shielding around each twisted pair and an overall braided shield provides improved signal integrity in electrically noisy environments compared with unshielded cables. Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher-frequency transmission for reliable data transfer. The LSOH jacket minimizes toxic fumes and smoke in enclosed spaces, while the 5 metre length offers flexible placement between network equipment without excess slack. Red color coding simplifies cable management and visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office or data closet setups
• Linking NAS devices and desktop workstations for high-speed file transfers
• Environments with increased electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is required
• Structured cabling runs inside racks or between cabinets where color coding is useful

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or modem and the other end into the Ethernet port of your computer, NAS or other network device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until a click confirms the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it separated from power cabling where possible to maintain shielding effectiveness. For fixed installations, use appropriate cable management such as patch panels, cable ties or tray supports to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 S/FTP cable in areas with potential electromagnetic interference or where higher signal integrity is needed. Maintain bend radius of at least four times the cable diameter and avoid repeated flexing at connector ends. For permanent in-wall installations, verify local building codes and consider plenum-rated alternatives if required.
