Netwerkkabel S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 0,5 m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 0.5 m is a short patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data connections. It uses Cat.6 specification with S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors plated in gold to maintain good conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its 0.5 m length and grey jacket make it suitable for patching within racks, linking adjacent devices, or tidy connections in constrained spaces.

Advantages

S/FTP construction improves signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby sources of interference. Cat.6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher short-range data rates, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide stable electrical contact and longer connector life. The short length minimises excess cable clutter and reduces latency and signal attenuation for close-proximity connections. The grey outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that fits server rooms, offices, and home networks.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches and servers in rack-mounted setups
• Connecting network devices located close to each other (wall ports, patch panels, desktop devices)
• Short horizontal runs in office or home networking where high signal quality is needed
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: grey
• Typical use: Ethernet networking, Gigabit Ethernet compatibility

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on each network device until it clicks into place. Ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends and avoid placing it alongside high-voltage power lines to maintain optimal shielding performance. For patch panel installations, seat the connector fully into the panel port; for direct device connections, plug into the device LAN or switch port. If multiple shielded cables are used, ensure components and connectors support shielded interfaces and that shield termination is properly grounded where applicable.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat.6 S/FTP cable for short, high-quality connections in racks, wall panels, or between adjacent devices. Verify that connected equipment supports shielding for maximum interference protection and avoid tight bends or excessive pulling during installation to preserve cable performance.
