Patch cable Cat6 FTP LYNX CS LX-FTP6-100-GREY 10 m, grey

Shielded Cat6 FTP patch cable LYNX CS LX-FTP6-100-GREY, 10 m, grey is designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and Gigabit Ethernet environments. The FTP (foil shielded twisted pair) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable connections between network devices. This 10 m cable features standard RJ45 terminations and is suited for office and home networks, switches, routers and patch panels where signal integrity over short to medium runs is required.

Advantages

The shielded Cat6 FTP design provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference compared to unshielded alternatives, which helps maintain signal quality in environments with multiple electronic devices. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet data rates and is built to meet typical Cat6 performance parameters for near-end and far-end crosstalk. Its 10 m length offers flexibility for equipment placement without the need for additional joins, and the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends into office and residential installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office networks
• Wired home networks and media devices requiring stable Gigabit connections
• Structured cabling runs where foil shielding is required to reduce interference
• Temporary or permanent connections in server rooms and network cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (FTP – foil shielded twisted pair)
• Length: 10 m
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: Grey
• Supported data rate: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T)
• Intended use: Structured cabling, patching between network devices
• Shielding: Foil shield around twisted pairs to reduce EMI and crosstalk

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, modem or network interface) and the other to the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until a click is felt to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; avoid pinching the cable when passing it through cable ducts or behind furniture. For best performance, keep the cable runs within recommended lengths for Ethernet and avoid bundling with power cables where possible.

Usage recommendations

For installations in environments with elevated electromagnetic interference or where maximum signal integrity is required, use shielded patch panels and properly ground the cable shielding at a single point. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs are compromised to maintain reliable Gigabit performance.
