Networking Cable ExertisConnect 853335 Cat6 F/UTP 20m Blue

The ExertisConnect 853335 Cat6 F/UTP 20m Blue networking cable provides a 20-metre connection for wired Ethernet networks. Built to Cat6 specifications with F/UTP (foil shielded around twisted pairs with an unshielded overall jacket), this cable supports high-speed data transmission and reduces external electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors for direct connection to routers, switches, network interfaces and patch panels. The blue outer jacket offers visible cable identification while the construction balances flexibility and durability for installations in homes, offices and server rooms.

Advantages

This Cat6 F/UTP cable delivers reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet and many higher-frequency networking requirements where foil shielding helps limit crosstalk and noise. The 20 m length covers typical room-to-room or rack-to-desk runs without needing additional couplers. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure broad device compatibility and fast plug-and-play operation. The cable’s design provides sufficient flexibility for routing through conduits or around furniture while maintaining mechanical strength for long-term use.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and network devices within homes and small offices
• Patch cabling between network racks and wall outlets
• Wired Gigabit Ethernet connections for PCs, NAS and IP cameras
• Temporary or permanent runs where visible colored cabling helps identification

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6 F/UTP (foil shielded pairs, unshielded overall)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Blue
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper (as typical for Cat6 patch cable applications)
• Impedance: 100 Ω (nominal for twisted-pair Ethernet)

How to use

Route the cable from the network device to the destination port and plug the RJ-45 connectors into the appropriate Ethernet sockets. Avoid sharp bends, excessive twisting or tight kinks to maintain signal integrity; follow standard bend radius practices and, where possible, secure the cable with clips or cable ties to prevent strain on the connectors. For wall or rack installations, leave some service slack to allow reconnections and movement of equipment.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6 F/UTP cable for distances up to 20 metres in typical office and home networking scenarios. Keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as unshielded power cables and large motors; the foil shielding helps but cannot fully compensate for extreme interference. For permanent in-wall installation, verify local building codes and consider using cables rated for in-wall use if required.
