Network patch cable Secomp Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45–RJ45 5 m Yellow

Secomp Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45–RJ45 patch cable, 5 m in length and finished in yellow, is designed for structured cabling and Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable uses screened foil-twisted pair construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while RJ-45 connectors on both ends provide straightforward connectivity for switches, patch panels, routers and workstations. The bright yellow jacket improves visual identification in racks and cable runs, facilitating organized installations in offices and data centers.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) shielding combines an overall braid with individual foil shields around each twisted pair, providing enhanced protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference. Cat6 performance supports reliable data transmission at Gigabit Ethernet speeds and higher frequencies compared with earlier categories. The cable is terminated with standard RJ-45 male plugs for plug-and-play use and the 5 m length fits typical patching distances between equipment and panels without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches and patch panels in wiring closets
• Connecting desktop computers, servers or network appliances to access points or switches
• Structured cabling in small and medium-sized office networks and data centers
• Environments where cable color coding simplifies identification and management

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil around each pair)
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Length: 5.0 m
• Jacket color: Yellow
• Application: Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, patch panel, router or computer and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and proximity to high-power electrical lines to maintain shielding effectiveness. For best performance, avoid kinking the cable and maintain recommended bend radius during installation.

Usage recommendations

Use the yellow Secomp Cat6 S/FTP patch cable for short to medium patch runs where interference protection and easy identification are important. For permanent runs in walls or conduits, select cables rated specifically for in-wall installation. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace cables showing visible wear to preserve signal integrity.
