Patchcord NETRACK RJ45 Cat6 FTP (F/UTP), 2 m, black

NETRACK Patchcord RJ45 Cat6 FTP (F/UTP), 2 m, black is a Category 6 network patch cable with RJ45 connectors designed for structured cabling and copper Ethernet networks. The cable uses FTP shielding (foil around all pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting reliable data transmission for Gigabit Ethernet and other Cat6 applications. A 2 meter length provides flexibility for connecting network devices in racks, workstations, or between nearby equipment while keeping installations neat.

Advantages

The FTP (F/UTP) construction offers improved protection against external electromagnetic noise compared to unshielded variants, which helps maintain signal integrity in environments with potential interference. Category 6 specification ensures performance up to 250 MHz and compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet. The pre-terminated RJ45 connectors simplify installation and reduce setup time. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for professional installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within server racks and network cabinets
• Linking desktop PCs, VoIP phones and network printers to local networks
• Short-distance interconnects between nearby networking equipment in offices and data rooms
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance, suitable for up to 250 MHz
• Shielding type: FTP (foil shield around all pairs, F/UTP)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 2 metres
• Jacket colour: Black
• Conductor: Copper (stranded or solid depending on cable variant)

How to use

Route the patchcord between network ports ensuring the cable is not bent beyond recommended bend radius and avoid sharp kinks. Plug RJ45 connectors into corresponding Ethernet ports on devices such as switches, routers, PCs or patch panels until the connector latches securely. Verify link/activity LEDs on connected devices to confirm proper connection. For permanent installations, label both ends to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.

Usage recommendations

Prefer shielded cabling paths and grounded patch panels when using FTP cables to maximize shielding effectiveness. Keep power cables separated from network cabling where possible to minimize interference. Replace cables that show visible damage or degraded performance.
