Network patch cable LANBERG Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) RJ-45–RJ-45 Blue 0.25 m

LANBERG Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) patch cable, 0.25 m, is a shielded Ethernet lead with RJ-45 connectors on both ends designed for short interconnections in racks, patch panels, switches and desktops. The cable supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and is built with foil shielding and a drain conductor to reduce electromagnetic interference, making it suitable where a shielded twisted-pair solution is required. The blue RAL5012 jacket and compact 0.25 m length allow tidy, visible routing in dense installations and equipment cabinets.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP (FTP) construction with polyester tape, aluminum foil and a drain wire improves immunity to external noise compared with unshielded cables, supporting more reliable gigabit links in electrically noisy environments. The cable uses AWG 26 conductors with stranded cores for flexibility, HDPE insulation and a PVC outer jacket for mechanical protection. Short length minimizes cable slack and clutter in patching scenarios while maintaining compliance with recognized wiring standards for Cat6 networks.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in racks
• Short connections between network devices on desktops
• Shielded installations where EMI reduction is necessary
• Data center and telecommunications cabinet cable management

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of the first device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure that connectors are fully inserted and the latch clicks into place. Use this 0.25 m patch cable where a short, shielded connection is required; avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and keep the cable routed to prevent strain on the plugs. When installing in shielded environments, ensure proper grounding of equipment and shield terminations to maintain the cable's EMI protection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length appropriate for the intended patching task to reduce excess slack; maintain connector and port cleanliness and observe correct grounding practices for shielded cabling. Do not bend the cable sharply or apply tensile loads above typical patch cable handling stresses.
