Sieťový kábel Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0500 sivý 0,5 m Cat6a S/FTP

The Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0500 Grey 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP is a short patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and network setups. Compliant with the Cat6a performance class, this 0.5 metre cable incorporates S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid) construction to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Equipped with standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable is suitable for connecting switches, patch panels, routers and network interfaces where full Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet signaling over short distances is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against near-end crosstalk and outside noise, improving signal integrity in dense cabling environments. Its Cat6a specification supports higher frequencies and bandwidth compared with lower-category cables, enabling more consistent throughput for demanding applications. The short 0.5 m length reduces unnecessary cable slack and helps maintain tidy racks and patch panels. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates into office and data centre environments.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between patch panels and switches in racks
• Direct device-to-device links in network closets and server rooms
• High-density patching where shielded cables are required to reduce interference
• Temporary or permanent 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within a single equipment bay

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around each pair with overall braided shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Grey
• Suitable bandwidth: up to 500 MHz and compliant with Cat6a transmission characteristics

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports of networking devices such as switches, patch panels, routers or NICs. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and clips engage to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m length to route short links within racks or between adjacent equipment to minimise excess cable. When installing in shielded environments, ensure metal connectors and any connected equipment or patch panels provide proper grounding to take full advantage of the cable's shielding.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension during routing; maintain bend radii recommended for Cat6a cabling and ensure proper grounding of shielded components. Use this cable for short, high-performance links where reduced interference and tidy cabling are priorities.
