The patch cable from Synergy 21, manufacturer's number S216013, is a data cable of category 6, designed for use in network infrastructures. It has a length of 0.5 meters and is available in green color. The cable is constructed as S-STP (S/FTP), meaning it features both pair-level foil shielding and an outer braid shielding. These shielding layers ensure high resistance to interference and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) as well as crosstalk, which is particularly advantageous in environments with high electromagnetic noise. The cable jacket is made from halogen-free material (LSZH), ensuring reduced smoke and toxicity development in case of fire, making it suitable for safe use in enclosed spaces.

Applications
This patch cable is designed for use in modern networks requiring high data rates and reliability. It is suitable for applications such as LAN connections, VoIP telephony, video transmission, and other IP-based services. Category 6 enables data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s over the full cable length of 0.5 m. The frequency bandwidth of 250 MHz supports high-bandwidth signal transmission and minimizes distortions. The cable is intended for indoor use, with an operating temperature range of -20 °C to +75 °C, enabling broad applicability in various environments.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
At both ends of the cable, RJ45 connectors with strain relief protection are installed. These connectors are designed for secure and stable connections in network outlets and switches. The connectors are equipped with a metallic shielding shell that protects the electrical connection and continues the cable's shielding effect. The contact pins are gold-plated (3 µm), ensuring high corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact. The connectors are long-style, providing better fit in certain sockets and easier handling.

Technology Explained Simply
The cable is constructed as S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair), meaning each wire pair is individually shielded with foil, and the entire cable is additionally wrapped in a metallic braid. This double shielding ensures optimal protection against external interference and prevents the cable from acting as a source of interference. The individual conductors have a gauge of 27 AWG, providing sufficient conductivity for data and power transmission (PoE). The cable is suitable for power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, PoE++), enabling power supply to end devices such as IP cameras, access points, or phones without additional power sources. The outer diameter of the cable is 5.8 mm, allowing for a compact design that is advantageous in tight cabling situations.

Compatibility and Accessories
The patch cable is compatible with standards ISO/IEC 11801, EN50173-1, and ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, which define technical requirements for network cables. The pinout follows the 568B standard, ensuring universal use in networks. As accessories, various cable ties and cable organizers are available to support proper cabling and cable management in server rooms or enclosures. These include, for example, transparent cable ties in various lengths, hook-and-loop tape, and flexible spiral organizers that structure and clarify cable routing.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding sockets of switches, routers, network outlets, or other network devices. The connectors feature strain relief protection, preventing accidental disconnection. The minimum bending radius is 60 mm, which must be considered during installation to avoid cable damage. The cable is delivered in a blister pack from Synergy 21, ensuring protection during transport and storage.

Operational Advantages
The combination of S/FTP shielding, halogen-free jacket, and PoE support makes this patch cable a robust and versatile solution for professional networks. High interference resistance ensures reliable data transmission, even in environments with high electromagnetic noise. PoE technology support reduces the need for additional power supplies and simplifies the installation of end devices. The green color enables easy visual identification in cable management, especially in complex network infrastructures.
