S/FTP patch cable of category 6. Halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket. Wires made of 100% copper. Gold-plated connectors with strain relief. Wirewin S/FTP patch cables are characterized by their high quality and are suitable for Gigabit connections with operating frequencies of up to 250 MHz. Application areas for category 6 cables include voice, multimedia, and data transmission as well as ATM networks. The wires made of 100% copper are double-shielded, and the cable features strain relief. The jacket is made of halogen-free materials and is highly flame-retardant. Unlike conventional PVC cables, these cables are halogen-free: the dangerous release of halogen-containing combustion gases is thus excluded, and smoke generation is minimized. Halogen-free cables are also difficult to ignite, and there is no dangerous ignition cord effect. Screened Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP) refers to cables that have a metallic shield around each pair of wires (FTP) and an additional overall metallic shield (S). In shielded cables, there are hardly any impedance or reactance deviations compared to unshielded ones. The transmission parameters remain relatively constant even at high frequencies and are better than those of UTP cables. Cat 6 cables are designed for operating frequencies of up to 250 MHz and are often used in professional settings. At longer lengths, transmission speed may suffer, but minor excess lengths are generally acceptable depending on external influences. Application fields for Cat 6 include voice and data transmission as well as multimedia and ATM networks.
