Product Description
The Cat6 SFTP PIMF Patch Cable 26AWG Blue Stranded is a 1m Cat6 SFTP patch cable in blue, built for shielded connections between network devices in a CCTV or IT installation.
What SFTP/PIMF actually means
SFTP is a shielding method: each twisted pair inside the cable is wrapped in its own foil screen (this is what PIMF — "pair in metal foil" — refers to), plus an overall shield around the whole cable. In practice this helps reduce interference on runs that sit near power cables or in busy cabinet bundles.
Key specs
- Category: Cat6, rated for Gigabit Ethernet
- Shielding: SFTP with PIMF (individually foil-screened pairs plus overall shield)
- Conductors: 26 AWG stranded copper
- Jacket: PVC — for indoor use
- Length: 1m
- Colour: Blue
Where it fits
Stranded conductors make this a flexible patch lead rather than a stiff fixed-installation cable. It's suited to short jumps — switch to patch panel, patch panel to router, or a camera-side switch into an NVR — where the cable needs to bend and route around equipment rather than run in a straight fixed line through a wall.
What to check before buying
Confirm your run length works with a 1m lead, and that your switch, router or patch panel ports use standard RJ45 connections. Because the jacket is PVC and suited to indoor use, keep this cable inside cabinets, racks or offices rather than routing it outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No — the jacket is PVC, which suits indoor installations, so keep this lead inside cabinets, racks or offices.
What does SFTP with PIMF shielding do?
Each twisted pair has its own foil screen plus there's an overall shield, which helps cut interference on runs near power cables or in dense bundles.
Can I use this for Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, it's a Cat6 cable suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Is it flexible enough for patching between devices?
Yes — it uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors, which are designed for the flexibility needed in patch cable use rather than fixed long runs.
