Ethernet patch cable Gembird RJ45 Cat6 FTP, 3 m, black

Gembird RJ45 Cat6 FTP Ethernet patch cable, 3 m, black provides a shielded wired connection for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The cable uses Foiled Twisted Pair (FTP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable data transmission between devices. Terminated with standard RJ45 connectors, this 3 metre cable is suitable for connecting computers, switches, routers and patch panels in home, office or data-centre horizontal cabling.

Advantages

The shielded FTP design improves resistance to external interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting reliable high-speed transfers up to Gigabit Ethernet. A 3 m length offers flexibility for typical workstation and rack connections without excess cable slack. Durable RJ45 connectors provide secure mating with network ports and simple plug-and-play installation. The black jacket gives a discreet appearance and basic mechanical protection suitable for everyday use.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and laptops to network switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch or switch to switch horizontal connections in small racks
• Home and office wired LANs where reduced electromagnetic interference is desired
• Temporary or permanent workbench and server area cabling with moderate routing distances

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (suitable for Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) for reduced EMI
• Length: 3 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Colour: Black
• Typical applications: horizontal LAN cabling, patching, device interconnect

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding network ports until they click to ensure a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise where possible. For installation in racks or along walls, use appropriate cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors. The cable requires no configuration and will operate with standard Ethernet devices once properly connected.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter. Use shielded patch panels and connectors in shielded installations to preserve the effectiveness of the FTP shielding. Replace the cable if connector clips are damaged or if the jacket shows significant wear.
