The patch cable from Synergy 21, type S216007, is a data cable of category 6 (Cat6) with a bandwidth of 250 MHz. It is used to connect network devices such as switches, routers, PCs, or servers in a local area network (LAN). The cable is red and has a length of 0.25 meters. It is designed as a round cable and features an LSZH jacket, which is halogen-free and therefore releases low smoke and non-toxic gases in case of fire. Shielding is performed according to the S-STP principle (also known as S/FTP), where each pair of conductors is individually shielded with foil and additionally an outer braid surrounds the entire cable. This ensures a high level of protection against electromagnetic interference (EMV) and enables reliable data transmission even in sensitive environments.

Applications
This patch cable is suitable for use in professional network infrastructures, particularly in environments where high data integrity and immunity to interference are required. It is commonly used in data centers, server rooms, office installations, or for cabling network switches and patch panels. The cable gauge of 27 AWG (American Wire Gauge) ensures sufficient conductivity and mechanical stability. The maximum bending radius is 60 mm, requiring careful handling during installation to avoid cable damage.

Functions and Features in Detail
At both ends of the cable, RJ45 connectors with strain relief are mounted. These connectors are designed for secure and stable connections in network sockets. The contacts are gold-plated (3 µm), ensuring good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The connector housing is nickel-plated, enhancing mechanical durability. The pin assignment follows the 568B standard, enabling compatibility with most network devices. The cable is packaged in a blister pack from Synergy 21, which protects the cable during transport and storage.

Technology Explained Simply
The S-STP (S/FTP) shielding technology means that each of the four conductor pairs is individually wrapped in a metallic foil, and additionally, an outer metal braid surrounds the entire cable structure. This provides high protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, which is especially important at high data transfer rates. The bandwidth of 250 MHz allows data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s over short distances, as specified for Cat6 cables. The cable is designed for operation at temperatures from -20 °C to +75 °C, enabling use in indoor environments as well as in controlled outdoor areas.

Compatibility and Accessories
The patch cable is compatible with all devices that support RJ45 connectors according to the 568B standard. It is suitable for use with PoE (Power over Ethernet), PoE+, and PoE++, meaning it can transmit power through the network cable, for example, for IP cameras, access points, or VoIP phones. As accessories, various cable ties, Velcro straps, and cable organizers from Synergy 21 are available, which help with proper cable management and bundling in server rooms or enclosures.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply plugging the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding sockets of the network devices. Due to its short length of 0.25 m, the cable is particularly suitable for connecting devices located close to each other, for example, between a switch and router in the same rack. The bending radius of 60 mm requires careful bending to avoid damaging the internal cable structure. Using cable ties or cable organizers from Synergy 21’s accessory range can improve cable organization and accessibility.

Operational Advantages
The cable provides reliable and fast data transmission with high protection against interference. The halogen-free jacket (LSZH) meets fire safety requirements in enclosed spaces. The robust construction with gold-plated contacts and nickel-plated connector housing ensures long service life and high reliability in daily operation. The blister packaging protects the cable from mechanical damage and contamination until installation.
