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

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat 6 S/FTP 0.5m Black is a short patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in home and office environments. With Category 6 performance and S/FTP (shielded foil over twisted pairs plus overall braided shielding), the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to support reliable data transmission over short distances. It features RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and resist corrosion, and a compact 0.5 m length that suits patching between nearby devices or within network cabinets.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP construction combines individual pair shielding with an overall braid to provide enhanced protection against external interference and internal crosstalk, helping maintain signal integrity for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure stable connections and lower contact resistance, while the short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable clutter and signal attenuation in tightly spaced setups. The black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into different equipment racks and workstations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance Ethernet patching between switches, routers and wall ports
• Connecting desktop PCs, NAS devices or network printers to a nearby switch
• Use inside patch panels and network cabinets where shielded cables are required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from other equipment

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair + overall braid)
• Connector type: RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Black
• Typical supported speeds: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and compatible with lower/higher standards within Cat 6 performance

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring each connector clicks into place for a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Use the 0.5 m cable to create direct links between nearby devices—such as a switch to a desktop or a patch panel to a switch—avoiding unnecessary tension or sharp bends that could stress the cable. For installations that require maintained shielding continuity, ensure connectors and panel ports are properly grounded according to your network cabinet or building grounding scheme.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat 6 S/FTP cable in short-length patching scenarios and maintain bend radii larger than the cable diameter. When operating in areas with significant EMI, pair the cable with shielded connectors and grounded patch panels to preserve shielding effectiveness. Avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or close to heavy electrical equipment when possible.
