Network cable SOLARIX CAT6 FTP installation cable 500 m LSOH

SOLARIX CAT6 FTP installation cable on a 500 m drum with LSOH (low smoke zero halogen) outer sheath. This Category 6 network cable is designed for Ethernet and structured cabling systems that require up to 250 MHz performance. Foil shielding (FTP) around the twisted pairs reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in installations with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. The LSOH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor use in offices, data centers and residential buildings where safety standards demand reduced halogen and smoke output.

Advantages

The SOLARIX CAT6 FTP cable offers Category 6 performance with foil shielded pairs to protect data transmission from external interference and improve overall network stability. The 500 m drum format provides continuous cable length for longer runs and fewer joints, simplifying installation and reducing points of failure. The LSOH outer sheath reduces hazardous emissions under fire conditions and meets common building safety requirements for indoor cabling. The cable construction supports reliable Ethernet speeds and is compatible with common RJ45 terminations and network hardware.

How to use

Measure and plan cable routes to avoid sharp bends, excessive tensile stress and proximity to high-voltage power lines. Pull the SOLARIX CAT6 FTP cable from the drum, keeping the drum stable to prevent tangling. Terminate cable ends using standard RJ45 connectors or patch panels designed for solid-conductor Cat6 cable, ensuring the foil shield is correctly connected to grounding at the termination point to maintain shielding effectiveness. Maintain manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius and avoid kinking. Test each run with a cable tester to verify continuity, pair orientation, and Category 6 performance parameters after installation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, separate data and power cabling when possible, use shielded connectors and properly connect the FTP foil shield to ground at one end only or per your site grounding policy, and perform certification testing for critical links. Store the drum horizontally and keep the cable dry and protected from mechanical damage prior to installation.
