Network cable Alantec KKS6CZE5.0 Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) RJ-45–RJ-45 5 m red

Alantec KKS6CZE5.0 Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) RJ-45–RJ-45 5 m red is a 5-metre patch cable designed for structured cabling and Gigabit Ethernet links. The cable uses Category 6 wiring and foil-shielded F/UTP (FTP) construction to limit electromagnetic interference, while standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends provide compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards. Its 5 m length and red jacket make it suitable for subscriber connections and short patch runs in distribution points where easy identification and reliable high-speed LAN performance are required.

Advantages

The foil shielding (F/UTP) reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, supporting stable data transmission at Gigabit speeds. Category 6 construction ensures performance up to 250 MHz for improved signal integrity compared with lower-category cables. Standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends make the cable plug-and-play with common networking equipment. The bright red outer jacket helps with cable management and visual identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Subscriber links in office or home network installations
• Structured cabling trunking where foil shielding is required to reduce interference
• Data closet and rack patching where clear color coding improves organization

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil around pairs with overall jacket)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 5 m
• Typical bandwidth: up to 250 MHz (Cat6 performance)
• Color: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or device and insert the other connector into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges and keep it separated from power cables where possible to minimize interference. For installation in racks or distribution frames, use appropriate cable organizers or ties to maintain orderly runs and prevent excessive strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 F/UTP cable for short to medium patch runs up to 5 m and avoid exceeding recommended bend radii. When installing multiple cables, maintain separation from strong electrical sources and follow structured cabling practices including color-coded management to simplify maintenance.
