Patch cable Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Green 2m

The Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 patch cable in green, 2 meters long, is designed for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections in structured cabling and local networks. The cable uses F/UTP (FTP) shielding to protect signal pairs from external electromagnetic interference, while the Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet performance and improved crosstalk control compared with earlier categories. The green jacket simplifies identification and cable management within patch panels, racks, and office or data center environments.

Advantages

The HP-FTP Cat6 construction provides enhanced protection against external noise, improving signal integrity for data transmission. A 2 m length balances flexibility and minimal excess cable for neat installations. The standardized RJ45-terminated patch cable offers plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards. The colored jacket aids visual organization and quick identification among multiple runs.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, patch panels and workstations
• Office networks, home networks and small server rooms
• Temporary or permanent patching in data cabinets and wiring closets
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding type: F/UTP (overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Conductor: copper (solid/stranded type as per manufacturer standard)
• Connector: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Color: green jacket for identification
• Supported speeds: up to Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and compatible with lower speeds

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other plug to the endpoint device or another network port. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks along the cable run to preserve performance; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for Cat6 cables when routing. For best results, keep the patch cable separate from power cables and strong electromagnetic sources and select an appropriate length to reduce clutter in racks and workstations.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 HP-FTP patch cable for short interconnects where shielding is needed to reduce interference. Inspect connectors for secure seating and replace any cable with visible damage. For permanent horizontal cabling or runs longer than standard patch lengths, consider fixed-installation cables meeting mounting and fire-safety requirements.
