Network Cable VALUE FTP Cat.6 Flat 0.5m Black

VALUE FTP Cat.6 Flat 0.5m Black is a short network cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. The cable has an extra-flat profile and F/UTP construction (pairs shielded with aluminium-clad foil) to reduce electromagnetic interference, and it is terminated with unshielded RJ-45 plugs on both ends with gold-plated contacts. The 1:1 contact wiring follows the EIA/TIA 568 standard and supports Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Advantages

The flat design allows installation in tight spaces and under carpets; kink protection increases durability during frequent handling. F/UTP pair shielding improves signal stability in environments with potential interference, while gold-plated contacts ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The short 0.5 m length makes it suitable for close connections between devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting router to switch or modem at short distances
• Connecting desktop computer to a network port
• Patch cable use in compact workstations or AV installations
• Situations requiring a flat cable to run under flooring or along narrow gaps

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (FTP / F/UTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector: RJ-45 on both ends, unshielded
• Contact configuration: 1:1 per EIA/TIA 568, 8 lines
• Conductor construction: 8 wires, pairs shielded with aluminium-clad foil
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: black

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the network ports of the devices you wish to connect (for example, router and computer or switch and modem). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the flat cable along the desired path, avoiding sharp bends that could stress the conductors despite the kink protection. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electrical noise where possible.

Usage recommendations

For optimal Gigabit performance, use this Cat.6 FTP flat cable for short patch connections; avoid extending its length with lower-category cables. When running under carpets or through narrow gaps, check periodically for wear at the connector strain relief and replace the cable if the outer jacket shows signs of damage.
