Patchcord RBLINE RJ45 FTP Cat6 0.25 m, grey

RBLINE patchcord RJ45 FTP Cat6 0.25 m in grey is a short Ethernet cable designed for reliable local connections between switches, patch panels and network devices. The Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and the FTP (foil shielded twisted pair) design reduces electromagnetic interference for stable signal transmission in dense cabling environments. Its 0.25 m length and slim grey jacket make it suitable for tidy rack or desktop wiring where minimal slack and clear routing are required.

Advantages

The foil shielding over the twisted pairs improves resistance to external electromagnetic interference, helping maintain signal integrity in office or data center installations. Cat6 performance ensures support for Gigabit Ethernet and common LAN applications. Short length minimizes cable clutter and simplifies cable management near equipment, while molded RJ45 connectors provide a secure connection and consistent contact quality.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch ports to adjacent patch panel ports in racks
• Linking network devices on a desk with minimal cable slack
• Short patching between servers and top-of-rack switches
• Environments requiring reduced EMI such as office floors or communications rooms

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: FTP (foil shielded twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 0.25 m
• Jacket colour: Grey
• Intended use: Short-distance Ethernet patching, Gigabit capable

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure physical and electrical connection. Use the 0.25 m patchcord for connections where devices sit close together to avoid excess cable loops. When routing the cable in racks or along cable trays, avoid sharp bends and kinks to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For installations in mixed-shielded environments, ensure connector housings and equipment grounding practices maintain shield continuity.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this RBLINE Cat6 FTP patchcord in Gigabit networks and keep cable runs short to minimize latency and crosstalk. Inspect connectors for debris before use and avoid stretching or crushing the cable. When used in shielded installations, verify proper grounding to benefit from the foil shield.
