Ethernet Patch Cable VALUE S/FTP Cat6 0.5 m, grey

VALUE S/FTP Cat6 Ethernet patch cable, 0.5 m in grey, is a short, shielded connection cable designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet links in home and office networks. The S/FTP construction provides individual pair foil shielding plus an overall braid shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. With Cat6 performance, this patch cable supports high-speed data transfer for short-distance interconnects such as switch-to-patch-panel or router-to-wall-outlet connections.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design ensures improved signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. Cat6 rating delivers the bandwidth and performance needed for Gigabit Ethernet and many multimedia applications. Its short 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter and signal loss for close-proximity connections. The grey jacket offers unobtrusive appearance for professional installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in server cabinets and racks
• Linking routers or modems to wall outlets and network ports
• Short point-to-point connections between networking equipment in office desks
• Installing compact, neat cabling runs in home entertainment or small office setups

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil for pairs + overall braided shield)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Grey
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and compatible network standards

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or wall outlet and the other connector into the corresponding device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Use this 0.5 m patch cable for short, direct connections where minimal slack is desired. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable to preserve shielding and connector integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable for short-distance links within racks or close equipment placements and avoid routing near high-voltage power lines. When installing in environments with strong interference, ensure both connected devices and infrastructure support shielded cabling and proper grounding to maximize the benefit of S/FTP shielding.
