S/FTP-patchkabel Cat6 Draka Comteq Groen 10 m

The Draka Comteq S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 Green 10m is a shielded network patch lead designed for reliable high-speed connections in structured cabling installations. The cable uses individually shielded twisted pairs with an overall foil shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, providing stable performance for Gigabit Ethernet links over a 10-meter run. The green jacket helps with visual identification in rack and cable management scenarios and the cable is compatible with standard RJ45 networking equipment.

Advantages

The S/FTP design improves immunity to external noise and reduces pair-to-pair interference, which supports consistent throughput and lowers error rates in busy network environments. A 10 m length offers flexibility for connecting equipment across racks, desks, and patch panels without excess slack. The green outer sheath simplifies color-coded installation schemes, aiding quick identification during maintenance. The cable's Cat6 specification ensures support for Gigabit Ethernet and typical enterprise data rates within the standard distance limits.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting servers, switches, and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• Office workstation and desktop network connections requiring shielded cabling
• Audio/video installations where reduced electromagnetic interference is important
• Structured cabling systems that follow color-coded identification practices

How to use

Route the S/FTP patch cable between network devices ensuring connectors fully seat into RJ45 ports. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the cable's minimum bend radius as recommended for Cat6 cables to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. When connecting shielded equipment, ensure proper grounding practices are observed to maintain shielding effectiveness. For patch panel installations, use cable management accessories to secure the 10 m run and prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Place the green Cat6 S/FTP cable in accordance with your building's grounding and EMC policies. Use it where shielded cabling is required to reduce interference from power lines or nearby electronic equipment. For best performance, keep runs within standard recommended distances for Cat6 networks and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power cables.
