Cavo patch Equip Cat.6 S/FTP RJ-45 20 m rosso

The equip® Cat.6 S/FTP Patch Cord is a 20 m networking cable designed for reliable gigabit connections. Constructed from quality materials and factory-tested to meet industry standards, this Cat.6 S/FTP cable provides improved bandwidth and a better signal-to-noise margin for stable data transfer up to 1000 Mbit/s. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure durable, low-resistance contact while the red jacket allows easy visual identification in patch panels and cable runs.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, increasing transmission stability in congested or electrically noisy environments. Cat.6 specification supports higher bandwidth than Cat.5e, enabling error-reduced performance for gigabit Ethernet applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and resist corrosion over time.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-TX) networks
• Patching between switches, routers and patch panels
• Office and data center horizontal cabling runs
• Environments requiring reduced interference and clear cable identification

Key specifications

• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Colour: Red
• Weight: 0.745 kg
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)

How to use

Route the patch cable between the network devices to be connected, ensuring connectors are fully inserted into the RJ-45 ports until they click. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the recommended bend radius to maintain signal integrity. For installations in racks or patch panels, label both ends if needed and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.6 S/FTP patch cord in combination with Cat.6-compliant infrastructure and maintain separation from high-power electrical lines. Regularly inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show signs of wear.
