Extralink CAT6 FTP (F/UTP) V2 OUTDOOR TWISTED PAIR 50M networking cable

The Extralink CAT6 FTP (F/UTP) V2 OUTDOOR TWISTED PAIR 50M networking cable is a 50-meter outdoor-rated Cat6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable local network installations. It supports frequencies up to 250 MHz and a practical bandwidth of 200 Mb/s, allowing use with Gigabit Ethernet and ATM transmission at 622 Mb/s. The cable contains four twisted pairs of pure copper conductors (23 AWG) with an internal polyethylene insulation and an outer PE jacket, and it is supplied on a self-unrolling reel for convenient deployment.

Advantages

The cable’s FTP (F/UTP) design and twisted pairs reduce electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in noisy environments. Constructed from pure copper conductors and protected by a polyethylene sheath, the cable offers mechanical strength and chemical resistance suitable for outdoor installations. The outer jacket thickness and weather-resistant materials increase durability, while the self-unrolling reel simplifies handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Outdoor local area network (LAN) runs
• Gigabit Ethernet connections
• CCTV and video transmission combined with power delivery
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

When it may not be suitable

This cable provides a practical bandwidth of 200 Mb/s and supports Gigabit Ethernet, but for applications demanding higher certified bandwidths or shielded pair-by-pair protection (e.g., very high-speed data centers or environments with extreme EMI), a higher-category cable or different shielding scheme may be preferable. The cable is optimized for outdoor and general network use rather than specialized high-frequency industrial links.

How to use

Plan the cable route and ensure compatibility with connectors and network devices. Unroll the cable from the supplied reel to avoid tangles and cut to the required length. Strip the outer jacket and individual pair insulation carefully to terminate with compatible RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks following Cat6 termination standards. Install outdoor runs with appropriate mounting and protection from direct sunlight if required, and test links with a cable tester after termination to verify continuity and performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Required link length and whether 50 m meets installation needs
• Network speed requirements and whether the cable’s bandwidth and Cat6 rating are sufficient
• Environmental exposure (UV, moisture, chemicals) and need for additional protective conduit
• Compatibility with termination hardware and connectors rated for outdoor use

Usage recommendations

For outdoor network and CCTV installations, deploy the Extralink CAT6 FTP cable on its self-unrolling reel, keep runs within recommended lengths for signal quality, use weatherproof junctions and connectors, and verify each terminated link with a cable tester to ensure reliable performance.
