Networking Cable Hypertec 850823-HY 15m Cat6 F/UTP

The Hypertec 850823-HY 15m Cat6 F/UTP networking cable is a 15-metre yellow Ethernet lead designed for reliable Gigabit-class data transmission in home, office and structured-cabling environments. The cable uses Cat6 specifications and F/UTP shielding (foil around the twisted pairs with an unshielded outer jacket) to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable signal integrity over the full 15 m length. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 connectors plated in copper for consistent conductivity and low contact resistance.

Advantages

This Cat6 F/UTP cable combines category-appropriate performance with physical durability and easy identification. The foil shielding reduces crosstalk and external EMI, supporting dependable high-speed data transfer. Copper-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent electrical contact, and the 15 m length provides flexible placement options without the need for repeaters or additional patching in typical home and office layouts. The yellow jacket simplifies cable management and visual tracing in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, network switches and routers for Gigabit Ethernet
• Structured cabling in small offices, meeting rooms and home networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in wiring closets and comms cabinets
• Temporary or permanent installations where visible cable identification is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil around twisted pairs, unshielded outer jacket)
• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Conductor/contact plating: copper-plated contacts
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Verify that both network devices you intend to connect support the required Ethernet speed. Insert each RJ-45 connector securely into the device ports until the latch clicks, ensuring proper orientation to avoid bent pins. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks and sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or heavy electrical wiring. For rack or cabinet use, gently secure the cable with suitable cable ties or Velcro straps to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables for extended distances and keep bend radius above manufacturer minimums. Use the 15 m length for direct device-to-device links or patching to nearby switches; for longer runs, plan for in-line patch panels or active network equipment. Regularly inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace the cable if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised.
