S/FTP patchkabel Cat6 Dätwyler 15m grijs

The Dätwyler S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in grey, 15m length, is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured networks. Constructed with S/FTP shielding and Category 6 performance, the cable supports consistent signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. Its 15-metre length makes it suitable for linking network devices across rooms, racks, or workspaces while maintaining stable connectivity and data throughput.

Advantages

The S/FTP design provides individual pair shielding plus an overall shield to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, which improves performance in dense cabling environments. Category 6 specification ensures support for Gigabit Ethernet and increased bandwidth compared with earlier cable categories. The grey outer jacket is durable and flexible, allowing for straightforward routing and installation in residential and commercial settings. Overall build quality and shielding reduce packet errors and help preserve link stability over longer runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within office or data centre racks
• Wiring desktop workstations, VoIP phones and network printers
• Home network installations requiring reliable Gigabit connections
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 15 metres
• Conductor type: twisted pairs, solid or stranded depending on patch cable style
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated at both ends (standard Ethernet connectors)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect each RJ45-terminated end of the patch cable to the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels, or networked equipment. Ensure that shielded connectors and port grounding are used when integrating the cable into shielded installations to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; secure with cable ties or organisers as needed to maintain clean, low-interference pathways.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify compatibility with your network hardware and use proper grounding when connecting shielded cabling to equipment chassis or shielded patch panels. Avoid coiling or tightly bending the cable; maintain recommended bend radius and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources where possible. Periodic inspection of terminations and connectors will help ensure sustained connection quality.
