S/FTP-patchkaapeli Cat6 Draka Comteq 15 m punainen

The Draka Comteq S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 15m in red provides a shielded, high-performance connection for Ethernet networks. Constructed with individually shielded twisted pairs and an overall foil shield, this Cat6 patch cable is designed to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while maintaining stable Gigabit Ethernet data rates over a 15 meter run. The red jacket improves cable identification in structured cabling environments and the flexible design supports routing through patch panels, switches, and wall outlets.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers enhanced protection against external noise sources, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple electrical devices or dense cable runs. As a Cat6-rated patch cable, it supports up to 1 Gbps Ethernet and provides consistent performance within the specified channel length. The red outer sheath facilitates visual identification and management in racks and wall installations, while the robust insulation and shielding increase durability and reduce the risk of performance degradation over time.

Suitable for

• Wired home networking where clear cable identification is needed
• Office LAN connections between switches, patch panels, and workstations
• Server rooms and data closets requiring shielded cabling to limit interference
• Temporary or permanent structured cabling installations with a 15 m reach

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (supports Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: S/FTP — individually foil shielded pairs plus overall foil shield
• Length: 15 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends (8P8C compatible)
• Conductor: stranded copper for patch cable flexibility
• Jacket color: red for easy identification
• Impedance: 100 ohm characteristic impedance

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the patch cable to the Ethernet port of a network device such as a switch, router, or wall outlet patch panel, and the other end to the corresponding device or workstation. Avoid sharp bends and excessive twisting when routing the cable; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by common installation practices for Cat6 patch cords. For highest performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible and ensure connectors are fully inserted into ports to establish a secure link.

Recommendations

For optimal network performance, use the cable within its 15 m length for horizontal or patch connections and pair it with compatible Cat6 components. When installing in environments with heavy electrical noise, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment and consider using shielded patch panels and connectors that preserve the S/FTP shielding continuity.
