Flat Network Cable VALUE FTP Cat.6 Black 5m

VALUE FTP Cat.6 Flat Network Cable in black, 5 meters long, provides a slim, low-profile connection for Ethernet networks. The cable uses F/UTP (foil-screened with unshielded twisted pairs) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over typical home and office runs. Terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends, the flat design simplifies routing under carpets, along skirting boards, or through tight cable channels while supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds where Cat6 performance is required.

Advantages

The flat form factor reduces bulk and improves flexibility for discreet cable placement in living or working spaces. F/UTP shielding helps decrease crosstalk and external interference compared to unshielded alternatives, contributing to more stable data transmission. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and reduce installation time. The 5 m length offers a balance between reach and minimal excess cabling for typical desk-to-router or room-to-room connections.

Suitable for

• Home networking between router, switch and devices (PC, smart TV, game console)
• Office workstation connections and small LAN segments
• Situations requiring low-profile routing under carpets or along skirting boards
• Temporary setups for events or demonstrations where easy deployment is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, factory-terminated
• Length: 5 m
• Color: Black
• Form factor: Flat profile for flexible routing
• Supported network speeds: up to Gigabit Ethernet performance in typical conditions

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your router, switch or wall outlet and the other plug to the Ethernet port of the target device. Ensure both connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks to secure the connection. Route the flat cable along the desired path—under carpets, along skirting boards, or through cable channels—avoiding sharp bends and crushing points. If passing through door frames or narrow gaps, protect the cable from repeated mechanical stress to prevent long-term damage.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with mains power lines over long distances to minimize possible interference. Use the flat cable where space constraints require discreet routing; in environments with high electromagnetic interference or very long runs, consider using fully shielded cable types or higher-category cabling as appropriate.
