Network cable LANBERG PCU6-10CU-0025-BK Cat6 F/UTP RJ-45 0.25 m Black

LANBERG PCU6-10CU-0025-BK Cat6 F/UTP RJ-45 0.25 m Black is a straight-through Ethernet cable designed for short patching runs and compact installations. The cable uses Category 6 construction with F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. With a 0.25 m length and a black outer jacket, it is intended for tidy cable management behind patch panels, switches and network equipment where minimal slack and reliable high-speed connections are required.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding provides improved resistance to external electromagnetic noise compared to unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain stable data transfer rates. Cat6 specification supports high-speed networking up to 10,000 Mbit/s in suitable environments. The short 0.25 m length minimises signal loss and clutter in dense rack or patch panel installations, while durable RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and easy insertion. The black jacket offers a discreet appearance and helps visually integrate the cable into standard network racks and equipment.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between ports on patch panels and switches
• Interconnections in server racks and network cabinets with limited space
• Laboratory or test-bench setups requiring minimal cable length
• Desktop or wall-mounted switches where tidy, short runs are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil around all pairs, unshielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 0.25 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (dependent on network equipment and environment)
• Colour: Black
• Cable type: Straight-through

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of the devices you intend to connect, such as a switch, patch panel or network interface. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the retention clip clicks to secure the connection. Use this short cable for direct port-to-port patching where cable length must be minimal. Avoid excessive bending at the connector strain relief and maintain gentle cable curves to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible, and avoid tight bends or crushing. Verify compatibility with your network equipment and consider using similarly shielded components and proper grounding in environments with significant EMI to maintain the full benefit of F/UTP shielding.
