S/FTP-patchkaapeli Draka Comteq Cat6 keltainen 3 m

The Draka Comteq S/FTP Patch Cable Cat6 in yellow, 3 m length, is a shielded Ethernet lead designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in professional and home environments. It uses individually shielded twisted pairs plus an overall foil sheath to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, delivering consistent performance for Gigabit networks and other applications that require stable wired connections.

Advantages

This S/FTP Cat6 cable provides improved protection against near-end crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting stable throughput and lower error rates in congested cabling environments. The 3 m length offers flexibility for patching between racks, wall outlets and network devices without excess slack. The yellow jacket improves cable identification and organisation in multi-cable installations, while robust insulating materials contribute to long-term durability.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in data centres and server rooms
• Home and office wired networks requiring Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Environments with higher electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is recommended
• Structured cabling where colour-coded patching simplifies maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (meets Cat6 performance characteristics)
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall shield with individual foil shielding on each pair)
• Length: 3 metres
• Conductor: stranded copper suitable for patch cable flexibility
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends (8P8C)
• Colour: yellow jacket for visual identification
• Supported data rates: suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and below

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your network devices, such as switches, routers, patch panels or network interface cards. Ensure connectors are seated firmly until they click to establish a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, excessive stretching or compression near connectors to maintain signal integrity and prevent mechanical damage.

Recommendations

For best results, use the S/FTP patch cable in shielded or earthed installations where the overall shield can be grounded at a single point. Avoid running the cable in parallel for long distances with high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. When installing in rack environments, use cable management accessories to prevent sharp bends and to maintain pair geometry near terminations.
