LANBERG networking cable Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) 3 m RJ-45–RJ-45 Grey

LANBERG networking cable Cat6 F/UTP (FTP) 3 m RJ-45–RJ-45 Grey is a 3-metre straight-through Ethernet cable designed to meet Cat6 performance requirements. The cable uses foil shielding around the pairs (F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable wired connections. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 plugs and the outer jacket is grey PVC, suitable for home and office installations that require reliable copper-based network links supporting data rates up to 1250 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The foil-shielded construction helps minimise crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, improving signal integrity over short and medium runs. The Cat6 specification supports higher frequency performance than Cat5e, enabling better headroom for gigabit and near-gigabit applications. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices, while the 3 m length offers convenient reach for typical workstation or small office setups.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (computer, switch, router or VoIP phone) and the other RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on the network equipment. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the latch clicks to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. For structured installations, use appropriate cable management and strain relief at termination points.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends with a radius smaller than the cable diameter and maintain separation from mains power cables. Use the foil-shielded cable where there is higher electromagnetic noise or when connecting equipment in racks and metal enclosures. Verify link speed and duplex settings on devices to ensure you achieve the expected throughput.
