Network Cable LANBERG PATCHCORD KAT.6 FTP 0.25M White

The LANBERG PATCHCORD KAT.6 FTP 0.25M White is a short, shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for stable high-speed network connections in confined spaces. Its Category 6 specification supports gigabit and higher data rates where cable length is limited, and the foil twisted-pair (FTP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for more reliable performance in environments with nearby electrical equipment. The white jacket offers a discreet, professional appearance suitable for visible installations in offices and homes.

Advantages

This LANBERG Kat.6 FTP patchcord provides improved signal integrity through individual foil shielding around the pair and an overall drain/foil combination that reduces crosstalk and external noise. The short 0.25 m length minimises excess cable clutter and helps maintain neat, organised patching in racks, patch panels, and desktop setups. The cable meets Category 6 electrical characteristics for reduced attenuation at higher frequencies compared with lower-category cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices at close distances (e.g., patch panels to switches)
• Desktop or wall-mounted equipment where a short cable run is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference
• Professional visible installations where a white jacket is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Category 6) performance
• Shielding: FTP (foil shielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.25 metres
• Colour: White
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 connectors (8P8C)
• Conductor: Stranded (flexible) or solid as appropriate for patchcord use
• Application: Ethernet networking up to gigabit speeds and above within specification limits

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers, or network interface cards until they click into place. Use the 0.25 m LANBERG PATCHCORD for short interconnections to avoid cable slack; route the cable to prevent sharp bends and avoid tight kinks that can damage the internal conductors or reduce performance. Ensure connectors are fully seated and check link/activity indicators on connected devices to confirm a successful physical connection.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this FTP patchcord in conjunction with shielded network equipment or properly grounded infrastructure to maximise the effectiveness of the shielding. Avoid running the cable parallel and closely adjacent to high-voltage power lines. For patching in cabinets or racks, label both ends as needed and maintain bend radius guidelines to preserve signal integrity.
