Networking Cable Connect 850877 5m Cat6 F/UTP

The Connect 850877 5m Cat6 F/UTP networking cable provides a shielded copper connection designed for reliable, high-speed data transfer. Built to Cat6 specification with F/UTP (foil-shielded overall with unshielded twisted pairs) construction and fitted with RJ-45 connectors at both ends, this 5-meter cable supports stable Ethernet links between computers, routers, switches and other network equipment. The black outer jacket offers a discreet appearance suitable for residential and office installations.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding reduces external electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity over moderate cable runs. Cat6 performance enables higher bandwidth and improved crosstalk characteristics compared with earlier cable categories. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network ports and ease of installation without special tools beyond typical network setup equipment. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for desk-to-switch or patch-panel connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs and laptops to routers or switches
• Patching between wall ports and network equipment in small offices
• Short runs in home entertainment systems and media players
• Temporary or permanent connections in server rooms and network closets

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6 (Cat6)
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Black
• Conductor type: Copper (solid or stranded depending on batch)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the port of the router, switch or wall jack. Ensure connectors are fully seated and the clip locks into place to prevent accidental disconnects. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and high-interference sources such as large electrical equipment or fluorescent lighting to preserve signal quality. For neat installations, use cable ties or cable management channels without compressing the cable excessively.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 F/UTP cable for connections up to 5 meters where reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable gigabit performance are required. For runs longer than 5–10 meters or when braided shielding is preferred, consider evaluating different cable categories or shield types based on installation environment and performance needs.
