Patch cable Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Blue 2m

The Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 patch cable in blue, 2 m length, is a twisted-pair network cable designed for reliable wired Ethernet connections. It uses an F/UTP (FTP) shielding scheme to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and is built to meet the performance expectations of Category 6 cabling for data transmission in LAN environments. The 2 m length makes it suitable for desktop, rack and short-reach connections while the blue jacket supports visual cable management and color-coded deployment.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding provides protection against external interference while preserving pair-level performance, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with moderate electromagnetic noise. Category 6 construction supports higher bandwidth and improved crosstalk characteristics compared with earlier categories, enabling stable Gigabit Ethernet and supporting applications that require consistent throughput. A molded connector design and standardized RJ45 termination contribute to reliable mechanical and electrical connections in frequent plug/unplug scenarios.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in office and home networks
• Patching between patch panels and active network equipment in racks
• Short to medium cable runs where a 2 m length is required
• Environments where color-coding and organized cable runs are beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (Category 6) performance
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Length: 2 meters
• Jacket color: Blue
• Typical use: Ethernet data transmission up to Gigabit speeds

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector ends into the Ethernet ports of the devices you intend to connect, ensuring the latch clicks to secure the plug. For patch panel or switch connections, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for structured cabling to preserve performance. Verify link lights or network status on connected devices to confirm a successful connection. For orderly installations, group and secure cables with ties or trunking while avoiding excessive compression of the jacket.

Usage recommendations

Place the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as large motors, fluorescent ballast or high-voltage power lines. Use the 2 m length for short runs to minimize excess slack; if longer runs are needed, select an appropriately longer Cat6 cable. Inspect connectors for damage before use and avoid repeated extreme bending near the connector to extend service life.
