Patchcord RJ45 NETRACK Category 6 FTP (F/UTP) 10 m, gray

NETRACK Patchcord RJ45 Category 6 FTP (F/UTP) 10 m in gray is a pre-assembled network cable designed for structured cabling and reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable meets Category 6 / Class E performance requirements and features foil shielding around the twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference. This patchcord is terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends and is intended for use with switches, patch panels, routers and outlet sockets in office and data center environments.

Advantages

The foil-shielded design (FTP / F/UTP) provides improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple electronic devices or running parallel to power lines. Category 6 construction ensures support for Gigabit Ethernet speeds and higher bandwidth applications within standard installation lengths. The 10 m length offers flexibility for typical rack, patch panel and desk connections while the gray jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates with common cabling infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in racks and cabinets
• Linking routers or firewalls to network access points
• Patch connections between wall outlets and desktop devices
• Temporary or permanent links in office and data center structured cabling

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6 / Class E performance
• Shielding: Foil around twisted pairs (FTP / F/UTP)
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Length: 10 metres
• Color: Gray
• Designed for: Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth LAN applications

How to use

Route the patchcord between the intended network ports, avoiding tight bends or stretches that could strain the cable. Insert RJ45 plugs fully into compatible ports on switches, patch panels, routers or wall jacks until the connector latches. For orderly cabling, secure the cable with Velcro or cable ties at intervals and keep it separated from strong electrical sources when possible to minimize residual interference. Test the link with a network tester or by verifying connectivity and throughput after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use FTP (F/UTP) patchcords in installations where improved EMI protection is required; ensure proper grounding of the overall shielded cabling system when mixing shielded components. Maintain bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter and avoid repeated flexing to preserve performance.
