Latiguillo Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 verde 5 m

The Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Patch Cable in green, 5 m long, is a network patch lead engineered for reliable local-area network connections and structured cabling. It uses high-performance Cat6 conductors with F/UTP (foil-shielded, un-twisted pair outer braid) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable's construction supports consistent Gigabit Ethernet transmission and is intended for use in patch panels, switches, routers and desktop connections where a shielded cable helps maintain signal integrity.

Advantages

The cable provides improved noise immunity compared with unshielded alternatives thanks to its F/UTP shielding, which helps stabilize data throughput in electrically noisy environments. The Cat6 specification ensures higher bandwidth and better signal-to-noise performance than Cat5e, supporting Gigabit speeds and short-distance higher-frequency requirements. The 5 m length offers flexible placement between network equipment without excess slack, and the colored jacket facilitates visual identification and cable management in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in office or data-rack environments
• Connecting desktop PCs, printers or VoIP phones to network ports
• Small server room cabling where shielded cable is required to reduce interference
• Home networks requiring organized, color-coded cable runs

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 (supports Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield with overall drain/braid as applicable)
• Length: 5 meters
• Conductor type: twisted-pair copper (AWG per Cat6 standard)
• Jacket color: green
• Typical applications: data networking, patching, structured cabling

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors on each end into the corresponding ports on network devices until a soft click confirms seating. Use one end to connect a switch, patch panel or router and the other end to a workstation, server or patch port. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain bend radius consistent with Cat6 best practices. If used in shielded installations, ensure proper grounding of shield terminations at equipment and patch panels to maintain the shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain separation from large electrical equipment. When installing in environments with significant EMI, verify that patch panels and network equipment support shielded cables and include proper shield grounding. Use color-coded runs to simplify identification during maintenance.
