Patch cable Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Blue 3m

The Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 patch cable in blue, 3 m length, is designed for wired Ethernet connections that require stable data transmission and improved protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable features foil-shielded pairs (F/UTP / HP-FTP) to reduce crosstalk and external noise, making it suitable for structured cabling environments where signal integrity matters. Its Cat6 specification supports higher bandwidths than Cat5e and is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and networking equipment.

Advantages

The shielded construction of this Cat6 patch cable improves resistance to electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, helping to maintain consistent throughput in congested cabling installations. At 3 meters, the cable provides flexible reach for patch panels, switches, routers, wall sockets and workstation connections while the blue jacket offers quick visual identification in multi-cable setups. Durable insulation and conductor geometry ensure reliable performance over repeated insertions and normal office or home use.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, routers and patch panels in office and data center racks
• Wiring desktop PCs, VoIP phones and network printers to local LAN ports
• Structured cabling runs where reduced interference and consistent signal quality are required
• Temporary or permanent connections in home networks with mixed electronic equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6 (High Performance)
• Shielding: HP-FTP / F/UTP (foil shielding of pairs with overall jacket)
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: Blue
• Connector type: RJ45 (8P8C) compatible
• Conductor: stranded copper for patch cable flexibility
• Typical applications: 1 Gbps and multi-gigabit Ethernet up to standards supported by Cat6 cabling

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device or wall outlet and the other into the corresponding port on your switch, router or computer. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends, extreme compression, or routing near high-power electrical sources. Keep overall cable runs within recommended lengths for Ethernet to maintain signal integrity.

For consistent network performance, route the cable away from mains power cables and large electrical equipment, secure it with cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors, and inspect connectors for damage before use. Replace the patch cable if the jacket or connectors show visible wear or if link performance degrades.
