Patch cable Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Green 10m

The Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Green 10m patch cable is a 10-metre network cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission in home and office environments. Constructed to Cat6 standards with foil-shielded twisted pairs (F/UTP), this green cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable Gigabit Ethernet connections between routers, switches, servers and end devices. The visible green jacket simplifies cable identification in structured cabling setups and patch panels.

Advantages

This Cat6 HP-FTP patch cable offers consistent performance for 1 Gbps networks and improved noise rejection thanks to foil shielding around each twisted pair. The 10 m length provides flexibility for intermediate runs without excessive slack. The cable’s construction supports reliable signal integrity over typical office and residential distances, and the durable outer jacket helps protect the conductors from mechanical wear during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and networked computers in small office or home networks
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet connections in structured cabling
• Server room horizontal patching where 10 m reach is required
• Environments with potential EMI where foil shielding improves reliability

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Category 6) performance class suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: Foil-shielded twisted pairs (F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Length: 10 metres
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, solid or stranded copper conductors depending on model application
• Jacket colour: Green for easy identification
• Typical use temperature and flexibility suitable for patching in office and home installations

How to use

Connect one end of the Cat6 HP-FTP patch cable to the RJ45 port of a network device such as a router, switch or network interface on a computer, and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends or pinch points near the ends to maintain shielding and performance. Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 HP-FTP cable within typical horizontal cable distance limits and avoid exceeding industry recommended bend radius. Verify connectors and ports are compatible with Cat6 performance and inspect the cable for visible damage before installation. In environments with substantial EMI, pair this foil-shielded cable with grounded shielding in patch panels or outlets to maximize interference protection.
