Networking Cable Dexlan 20m RJ-45 Cat6 F/UTP

The Dexlan 20m RJ-45 Cat6 F/UTP networking cable by Exertis Connect is a 20-metre orange Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed wired data transmission. Built to the Cat6 specification with F/UTP (foil-screened around the overall cable with unshielded twisted pairs) construction, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, providing a consistent connection for switches, routers, NAS devices and endpoints in home or office networks. The bright orange jacket improves visibility and cable management in rack or multi-cable environments.

Advantages

Cat6 performance supports higher bandwidth and lower latency compared with earlier categories, suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and many 10 Gigabit Ethernet scenarios over short runs. The F/UTP shielding adds protection against external electromagnetic interference while keeping individual pairs unshielded for flexibility and ease of termination. The 20 m length offers extended reach without intermediate patch panels, and the standardized RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with common network equipment. The colored jacket aids identification and organized cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Wiring networked devices such as NAS, IP cameras and printers
• Patch connections in server racks, wall outlets and media cabinets
• Temporary or permanent runs where a visible, easily traced cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil screen, twisted pairs unshielded)
• Jacket colour: Orange

How to use

Route the Dexlan Cat6 cable between devices ensuring the connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until the locking clip engages. Avoid sharp bends, kinks and tight coils that can impair performance; maintain a bend radius of at least four times the cable diameter. When running alongside power cables, keep a separation distance or cross at right angles to reduce potential interference. For termination through patch panels or keystone jacks, use standard Cat6 compliant tools and procedures to preserve signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, test the installed link with a cable tester supporting Cat6 parameters. In environments with significant electromagnetic noise, consider routes with additional separation from power sources or use shielded connectors and properly grounded panels. Store unused cable neatly coiled and avoid tension on connectors during installation.
