FTP network patch cable QOLTEC CAT6 0.25 m, shielded twisted pair, yellow

FTP network patch cable QOLTEC CAT6 0.25 m, shielded twisted pair, yellow is a short, shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable connections between network devices. Built to the CAT6 specification with foil-screened twisted pair (FTP) construction, this 0.25 m cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk in environments where improved signal integrity is needed. The compact length makes it suitable for neat, close-range connections in patch panels, switch-to-switch links, or direct device interconnects in offices and home networks that require shielded cabling.

Advantages

The shielded FTP design provides enhanced protection against external interference compared to unshielded cables, helping maintain stable data transmissions at higher speeds. Its CAT6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet performance and offers improved pair separation and signal quality relative to lower-category cables. The short 0.25 m length minimizes cable clutter and signal attenuation for short link runs, while the yellow outer jacket aids visual identification in crowded patching environments.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects between switches, patch panels and rack-mounted devices
• Connecting network equipment in office or home environments where shielding is required
• Use in installations where reduced EMI and crosstalk are important for reliable Gigabit links

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6
• Cable type: Foil-screened twisted pair (FTP)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: Yellow
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T)
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 terminated

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of the first device and the other connector into the port of the second device, ensuring a secure click-in connection. Use the 0.25 m cable for short, direct links where devices are in close proximity — for example, between adjacent ports on a patch panel and a switch. Avoid excessive bending near the connectors; maintain gentle cable curvature to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. Verify link status on connected devices to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

Use shielded cabling only when the connected equipment and installation environment support grounding for effective EMI suppression. For best performance, route this short CAT6 FTP patch cable alongside similarly shielded cables and avoid running it parallel to strong power sources or noisy electrical equipment.
