LANBERG patchcord Cat.6 FTP 2 m, red

LANBERG patchcord Cat.6 FTP 2 m, red is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver Category 6 performance over a 2-metre length. The cable uses foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, supporting reliable data and voice transmission at Gigabit speeds. Its red jacket provides easy identification in patch panels, racks and cable runs in office, server room and home network environments.

Advantages

The LANBERG Cat.6 FTP patchcord provides stable 1 Gbps links with reduced external interference thanks to its foil shielding. The 2 m length balances flexibility and neat cabling inside cabinets and on desks. Its Category 6 specifications ensure improved bandwidth and signal integrity compared with lower categories, while the bright red outer sheath facilitates quick visual identification and organized cable management. The RJ45 connectors are factory-terminated to maintain consistent electrical characteristics throughout the cable.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network devices in office and home networks
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment in server rooms and data closets
• Workstations and VoIP phones requiring Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Environments where reduced EMI and clear cable identification are needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (supports Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: Foil-screened twisted pair (FTP)
• Length: 2 m
• Conductor: stranded copper for patch flexibility
• Connector: 8P8C (RJ45) modular plugs
• Jacket colour: red
• Application: data and voice transmission, structured cabling

How to use

Plug one end of the LANBERG Cat.6 FTP patchcord into the RJ45 port of your switch, router, patch panel or network device and connect the other end to the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, excessive tension and proximity to large sources of electromagnetic interference. For best performance, use within standard structured cabling layouts and avoid exceeding the recommended channel lengths for Cat.6 installations.

Usage recommendations

Use the red LANBERG Cat.6 FTP patchcord for short interconnects inside racks, between wall outlets and desk devices, or to segregate specific network segments visually. Periodically inspect connectors for damage and replace cables showing wear or compromised shielding to maintain reliable Gigabit links.
