Patch cable Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Blue 10m

The Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Blue 10m patch cable provides a 10-metre connection solution for high-speed wired networks. Constructed with foil-shielded twisted pairs (F/UTP), this Cat6 cable is intended to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable data transmission rates. The blue outer jacket identifies the cable visually and is made to withstand typical installation conditions in homes and offices.

Advantages

Shielding around the twisted pairs improves resistance to crosstalk and external interference, supporting reliable connectivity in environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic equipment. The Cat6 design enables performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications. A 10 metre length offers flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or within rack systems without excessive slack. The cable is manufactured to consistent quality standards for predictable signal integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers and network-attached storage to switches or routers
• Wiring between patch panels and network equipment in small server rooms or office racks
• Home networking setups requiring stable wired connections for streaming and online gaming

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around all twisted pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated at both ends
• Outer jacket colour: Blue
• Designed for: Gigabit Ethernet and comparable high-speed LANs

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices and network equipment. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until a click is felt to secure the physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight loops or exposure to sources of strong electromagnetic noise to preserve signal quality. If used in a patch panel or rack, leave gentle service loops to prevent strain on the terminations.

Recommendations

For best results, use the cable within its specified length and avoid running it parallel to power cables for long distances. Verify connector seating after installation and perform network tests (link speed and packet loss checks) if you experience intermittent issues.
