This Cat.6 patch cord from ALANTEC is a ready-to-use solution for building and expanding computer networks. It will work both in distribution points and subscriber connections, offering stable data transmission. The cable is particularly useful where connection reliability and interference resistance are required.

Construction and application

The F/UTP Cat.6 patch cord with foil shielding (F/UTP) provides better protection against electromagnetic interference than unshielded cables. The aluminum screen surrounds all pairs of wires, and an additional grounding wire increases the effectiveness of protection. This is important in environments with high interference levels, such as near power cables or industrial equipment. Made of PVC, the cable is flexible and easy to install, although it should be remembered that it releases smoke and halogens in the event of a fire – LSOH alternatives should be considered for critical applications. A length of 1.0 meter makes it ideal for short connections between devices.

Advantages and benefits

High transmission quality: Category 6 guarantees a bandwidth of up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet), and even up to 10 Gbps over shorter distances.
Effective interference protection: F/UTP shielding minimizes the impact of electromagnetic interference on the signal.
Ready to use: The patch cord is factory-terminated with RJ45 connectors, eliminating the need for self-crimping the cable – saving time and costs for the installer.
Versatility: Compatible with lower category elements (patch panels, RJ45 keystone modules).
Durability: Made of high-quality materials by a reputable manufacturer – A-LAN Technologie (ALANTEC).
Easy identification: The gray color makes it easier to distinguish cables in the installation, especially with a large number of connections. Colored Velcro straps can also be used for even better organization.
Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 11801 and fire classification Eca (CPR).
