Network cable Gembird Cat6 FTP F/UTP — 100 m, Grey

Gembird Cat6 FTP (F/UTP) network cable on a 100 m spool in grey. The cable is built to Cat6 specification for gigabit Ethernet and has an overall aluminium foil shield (FTP/F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference. It uses CCA (copper-clad aluminium) stranded conductors and is intended for structured cabling, LAN installations, patch panels and in-building data runs where a shielded Cat6 cable is preferred.

Advantages

This Cat6 FTP cable provides improved EMI protection compared with unshielded cables thanks to its overall foil shield, while the Cat6 standard supports gigabit Ethernet speeds. The 100 m spool format is convenient for longer runs and site installations, and the grey jacket offers a neutral appearance for professional installations.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and buildings
• LAN installations and switch-to-switch links
• Patch panels and network racks
• In-wall or conduit data runs where shielding is required

When it may not be suitable

The cable uses CCA (copper-clad aluminium) stranded conductors rather than solid or pure copper conductors; this can affect electrical performance and is less suitable for PoE applications with high current draw or very long runs. For environments requiring maximum long-term reliability, full copper solid Cat6 cables may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (FTP / F/UTP overall foil shield)
• Length: 100 m spool
• Conductor type: CCA (copper-clad aluminium), stranded
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Install the cable following standard network cabling practices: route through conduits or cable trays, avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference, and terminate on keystone jacks, patch panels or RJ45 plugs rated for Cat6. Use appropriate grounding for shielded cabling systems per local installation rules to ensure the foil shield functions correctly.

What to consider before purchase

• CCA conductors vs. pure copper — check PoE requirements and installation length
• Requirement for shielded cable and proper grounding in your environment
• Compatible termination hardware rated for Cat6 and shielded cable

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6 FTP cable for typical gigabit LAN links and structured cabling runs up to standard distances, ensure proper shielding termination and grounding, and avoid using it for high-current PoE circuits over long distances when full copper conductors are required.
