Patchcord NETRACK RJ45 Cat6 FTP (F/UTP) 5 m, black

NETRACK Patchcord RJ45 Cat6 FTP (F/UTP) 5 m in black is a shielded Cat6 patch cable engineered for Gigabit Ethernet and structured cabling environments. The cable uses foil shielding (FTP/F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity across network links. It provides standard RJ45 terminations compatible with switches, patch panels, routers and other networked devices, and is intended for use in offices, server rooms and distribution cabinets where reliable high-speed connectivity is required.

Advantages

The shielded FTP design lowers susceptibility to external noise and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, improving stability for high-speed data transmission. Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and offers headroom for applications that demand higher bandwidth and lower latency. A 5 m length provides flexibility for typical patching runs between equipment in racks, patch panels and wall outlets, while the black jacket offers discreet installation in professional environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels and routers within racks and cabinets
• Linking workstations, VoIP phones and desktop devices to network ports
• Structured cabling runs in offices and data closets requiring shielded cables
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where foil shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 — designed for Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Shielding: FTP (F/UTP) — foil shield around all pairs
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Color: black
• Application: patching and short horizontal connections in structured cabling

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of the device (switch, patch panel, router or workstation) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; secure with cable management accessories where appropriate. For installations in shielded systems, verify proper grounding of equipment and cabling infrastructure to ensure the shield functions correctly.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable, keep the length within the specified 5 m for predictable signal behavior, and use the cable in environments compatible with shielded cabling—pair it with shielded connectors and grounded patch panels when installing in electrically noisy areas.
