Patch cable Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Green 1m

The Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 patch cable in green, length 1 m, is a shielded F/UTP (FTP) Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and local area networks. Constructed to Cat6 performance specifications, the cable supports reliable gigabit connections and helps reduce electromagnetic interference through foil shielding. The compact 1 m length and standard RJ45 terminations make it suitable for short runs between switches, patch panels and networked devices where organized, low-noise connections are required.

Advantages

This Cat6 HP-FTP patch cable combines Category 6 performance with F/UTP shielding to provide consistent data rates and improved immunity to external noise compared with unshielded alternatives. The 1 m length minimizes excess cable and clutter in racks and workspaces, while the green jacket offers easy visual identification in multi-cable installations. Durable insulation and factory-terminated RJ45 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation and long-term mechanical reliability.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between switches and patch panels in server rooms and network closets
• Connecting desktop computers, IP phones and networked peripherals to wall outlets or patch bays
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required, such as near power distribution or dense cable bundles

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (Category 6 performance)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil-shielded twisted pair, overall foil)
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: Green jacket for identification
• Connectors: RJ45 terminated at both ends, standard 8P8C
• Transmission: Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and typical Cat6 bandwidth requirements

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports on devices or patch panels until the connector latches securely. Use the 1 m cable for short-distance connections to maintain tidy cable runs and reduce signal reflections associated with excess length. Ensure that the cable is routed without sharp bends and not excessively pinched by furniture or cable management hardware. If operating in a high-interference area, verify proper grounding of shielded cabling infrastructure according to local installation standards.

Recommendations

For best performance, pair the HP-FTP cable with shielded network equipment and maintain continuous shield continuity through patch panels and outlets. Avoid running the cable in parallel with unshielded power cables; when crossing power lines is unavoidable, cross at right angles. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace cables that show visible wear to preserve reliable network performance.
