Networking Cable Dexlan 5m Cat6 FTP

The Dexlan 5m Cat6 FTP networking cable provides a 5-metre connection with F/UTP shielding and RJ-45 to RJ-45 connectors. Designed to support Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data transmission, the cable has gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. The black jacket offers a discreet appearance for home, office, and equipment rack installations while the F/UTP construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference for more stable signal transfer.

Advantages

The Cat6 specification supports higher bandwidth and lower crosstalk than previous categories, enabling reliable Gigabit and multi-gigabit links over short to medium distances. F/UTP shielding provides protection against external electromagnetic interference, which is beneficial in environments with multiple electronic devices or where cables run near power lines. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure durable contact surfaces and consistent signal performance. The 5 m length balances flexibility and reach for typical desktop-to-switch or patch panel connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers, and networked peripherals to switches or routers
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in offices or homes
• Short to medium length links in server rooms and equipment racks
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Class E)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around all pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router or wall jack. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks and tight bundling with power cables to maintain signal quality. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories and avoid excessive strain on the connector ends.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 FTP cable for connections up to 5 metres where reduced interference is desirable. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cabling. If longer runs are needed, consider using certified patch panels, switches or higher-category cables depending on required bandwidth.
