LANBERG Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) networking cable, RJ-45–RJ-45, 1.5 m, black

LANBERG Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a length of 1.5 m is a shielded straight-through Ethernet patch cable designed for short links in wired networks. It complies with Cat6 performance parameters, supports data transmission up to 1250 Mbit/s and uses foil shielding around the pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable is terminated with standard RJ-45 plugs and is supplied in black colour for discreet installation in home, office or server rack environments.

Advantages

The foil-shielded construction (F/UTP) improves signal integrity in environments with potential EMI from nearby electrical equipment or cabling. Cat6 compliance ensures support for higher bandwidth applications compared with lower categories, while the compact 1.5 m length minimises cable clutter and latency for short point-to-point connections. Gold-plated contacts on RJ-45 plugs and a consistent straight-through wiring make the cable compatible with typical network devices such as computers, routers, switches and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop or laptop to a router or switch over a short distance
• Patching between switch ports and patch panels in small racks or cabinets
• Linking network devices in home office and small office setups
• Temporary network setups where a shielded short cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil around twisted pairs)
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 1250 Mbit/s
• Cable type: straight-through (patch cable)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a computer, switch or router and the other connector into the corresponding port of the target device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For rack or cabinet installation, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle bend radii and secure with cable ties or Velcro to prevent movement that could affect contact quality.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short, shielded Ethernet links where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial. Avoid running the cable in close parallel alongside high-voltage power lines for extended distances, and do not exceed the recommended bend radius. For permanent installations in high-interference environments, consider using fully shielded cable systems and ensure proper grounding of connected equipment.
