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

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat.6 S/FTP 0.5 m in yellow is a short patch cable designed for high-performance Ethernet connections. With Category 6 specification and S/FTP shielding, the cable supports reliable data transmission in environments where interference may impact signal quality. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and a compact 0.5 m length that is suitable for close-proximity connections between devices, patch panels and network switches where cable congestion should be minimized.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall braided shield with individually foil-shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, improving signal integrity for Cat6 speeds. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance conductivity and resist corrosion for sustained performance. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess cabling, improves airflow in racks or small setups, and the yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between network devices (switch to server, patch panel to switch)
• High-density rack or cabinet environments where space and cable management matter
• Home office or small office LAN setups requiring clear cable identification
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where extra shielding is needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 performance level suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (braided overall shield + foil around each pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Cable color: Yellow

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for direct device-to-device links, patch panel connections or short extensions in a network rack. Avoid excessive bending near the connector; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve internal pair geometry and shielding effectiveness. For permanent installations, route the cable along cable management trays or guides to prevent mechanical strain.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.6 S/FTP cable where short, shielded connections are needed and pair it with properly grounded network equipment to ensure the shielding functions effectively. Replace any cable that shows visible damage to the jacket or connectors and avoid running the cable in parallel alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
