LANBERG Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) patch cable 0.25 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, black

LANBERG Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) patch cable, 0.25 m, with RJ-45 connectors at both ends is a shielded short-link cable designed for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections. The F/UTP (FTP) construction includes aluminum foil shielding and a drain wire to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting operation up to 250 MHz. The compact 0.25 m length is suitable for patching between adjacent ports on switches, routers, patch panels or wall outlets where a short, tidy connection is required. Cable conductors use stranded AWG26 configuration for flexibility while maintaining electrical performance, and the cable jacket is black PVC (RAL9004).

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP (FTP) design reduces external interference and helps preserve signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic noise. Short 0.25 m length minimizes cable clutter and improves air flow around network equipment. Stranded conductors and standard RJ-45 connectors provide flexibility and compatibility with common network hardware. Construction details such as HDPE insulation, LDPE cross filler and polyester tape contribute to stable impedance and consistent performance up to 250 MHz.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent ports on switches and routers
• Connecting devices to nearby wall outlets or patch panels
• Short links in office or home Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Environments where shielding is required to reduce EMI

How to use

Use the LANBERG Cat6 F/UTP patch cable to connect Ethernet ports that are in close proximity, such as adjacent switch ports, patch panel ports or a device to a nearby wall outlet. Ensure both ends are fully inserted into RJ-45 sockets until the locking clip engages. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and do not stretch the cable beyond its installed length. When routing near sources of electromagnetic interference, orient the cable so the shielding connections are properly terminated at both ends for best performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal shielding effectiveness, ensure equipment racks and patch panels provide proper grounding for shielded cables. Use this 0.25 m cable for tidy short connections inside racks or between devices where cable length should be minimal to reduce clutter and maintain airflow.
