StarTech 1 m Cat6 Patch Cable – Shielded (SFTP)
The StarTech 1 m Cat6 Patch Cable is engineered for high‑performance networking environments where reliability, speed, and signal integrity are paramount. Designed with a S/FTP (Shielded/Foil‑Twisted Pair) construction, this cable delivers exceptional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring stable data transmission even in electrically noisy settings.
Key Technical Specifications
- Category: Cat6 – supports up to 10 Gbps over short distances, ideal for modern LANs, video streaming, and VoIP applications.
- Length: 1 meter (3.28 ft) – perfect for connecting devices within the same room or rack without excess slack.
- Wire Gauge: 26 AWG stranded conductors – balances flexibility with low resistance, maintaining signal quality over the cable’s full length.
- Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP) – each twisted pair is individually foil‑wrapped and then surrounded by a braided shield, providing superior noise rejection.
- Frequency: 500 MHz – supports high‑bandwidth applications such as 4K video, large file transfers, and real‑time data analytics.
- Jacket Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) – durable, flame‑retardant, and compliant with industry safety standards.
- Connector Type: Male RJ‑45 on both ends – standard plug‑and‑play compatibility with switches, routers, computers, and other Ethernet devices.
- Compliance: TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 (T568B) wiring scheme – ensures consistent pinout for seamless integration into existing networks.
- RoHS Compliant: Yes – free from hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.
- Snagless Cable Boot: Included – protects the cable’s termination points from damage during installation or movement.
Performance Highlights
The combination of S/FTP shielding and 26 AWG stranded conductors results in a cable that maintains signal integrity at 1 Gbps with minimal attenuation. The 500 MHz bandwidth capability allows for future‑proofing, accommodating higher data rates should your network infrastructure evolve.
Because the cable is plug‑and‑play, no additional tools or configuration are required. Simply insert each RJ‑45 connector into the desired port, and the network will recognize the connection instantly.
Design & Aesthetics
The cable’s blue color offers a clean, professional look that blends seamlessly with standard networking gear. Its compact 1 meter length keeps cable clutter to a minimum while providing enough reach for most in‑room connections.
Ideal Use Cases
- Office LANs: Connect desktops, printers, and VoIP phones within the same office space.
- Data Centers: Short runs between switches or servers where high bandwidth and low latency are critical.
- Home Networking: Link gaming consoles, smart TVs, or home automation hubs to a router for uninterrupted streaming.
- Industrial Environments: Reliable connectivity in settings with significant electromagnetic noise, such as manufacturing floors.
Installation Tips
- Ensure the cable is straightened before insertion to avoid pin damage.
- Use a proper crimping tool to secure RJ‑45 connectors if you need to create custom lengths.
- Keep the cable away from high voltage power lines and large motors to maintain optimal performance.
