Cable de red Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0506 violeta 0,5 m Cat6a S/FTP

The Dätwyler Cables 21.05.0506 Violet 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP is a short patch cable intended for reliable, high-speed wired network connections. Constructed to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP (shielded foil around each pair plus an overall braided shield), the cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs and reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the 0.5 m length is suitable for tidy connections in dense racks, patch panels or between nearby devices, while the violet jacket helps with visual identification in complex cabling layouts.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design offers improved protection against alien crosstalk and EMI compared with unshielded cables, maintaining signal integrity at higher frequencies. Cat6a construction enables higher bandwidth and better performance for 10GBASE-T applications at short distances. The short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable slack and helps maintain organized cabling in server rooms or workstations. RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels and NICs. The violet jacket provides clear color coding for simplified network management and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Short patch runs in server cabinets and data centers
• Connections between patch panels and switches
• Linking desktop PCs, VoIP phones or networked printers in close proximity
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP — foil-shielded pairs with overall braided shield
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Supported data rate: Up to 10 Gbps over short distances
• Impedance: 100 ohm (nominal)
• Jacket color: Violet

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the matching network port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m cable to make short, direct links between devices, to connect equipment to a nearby patch panel or switch, or to replace longer cables where space is limited. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends near the ends; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve shielding and internal pair geometry. For installations in shielded environments, connect cable shields to grounded metal panels or chassis where applicable to ensure effective EMI mitigation.

Recommendations

Choose shielded terminations and proper grounding when using S/FTP cables in environments with significant electromagnetic interference. Use the violet color for consistent labeling conventions to speed maintenance and reduce mispatching in multi-cable installations. Avoid excessive pulling force and tight bend radii to maintain performance.
