Patch Cable Cat6 S/FTP (PiMF) 5m, orange, RJ-45–RJ-45, gold contacts

Cat6 S/FTP (PiMF) patch cable, 5 m length, orange jacket with RJ-45 plugs on both ends and gold-plated contacts for corrosion-resistant signal transmission. Designed for high-speed Ethernet connections, this prewired cable provides reduced crosstalk and electromagnetic interference protection through an overall S/FTP shielding that combines foil around each twisted pair (PiMF) with an outer braid. The cable supports up to 10,000 Mbit/s and is suitable for LAN installations, server racks, switches and routers where consistent data throughput and clear signal integrity are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction isolates individual wire pairs and adds an overall braid to minimise interference from nearby cables and equipment, improving signal quality in environments with potential EMI. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs reduce contact resistance and resist corrosion for long-term reliable connections. The bright orange jacket allows quick visual identification in structured cabling systems and rack installations. Robust jacket material and bend protection at the connector reduce mechanical stress and help maintain stable connectivity over time.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks and high-bandwidth LAN connections
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and servers in data cabinets
• Structured cabling runs where reduced crosstalk and EMI protection are needed
• PoE and PoE+ powered network devices

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or device and plug the other end into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radii recommended for Cat6 cables and avoid running the cable in parallel with strong electrical power lines to reduce interference. For installations in racks or cabinets, label both ends as needed for identification.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable in environments where electromagnetic interference is present or where high data rates are required. Avoid kinking the cable and do not exceed manufacturer-recommended bend radius. When deploying multiple cables, separate from high-voltage power lines and secure with cable management accessories to maintain signal integrity and ease of maintenance.
