FTP CAT6 Shielded Network Cable, 15m, 250MHz, with Gold-Plated RJ45 Plugs

Technical note: CAT6 cabling is typically rated for 250 MHz. Actual transmission performance depends on cable construction, connector quality, installation, and channel length. The FTP shielding structure, conductor material, and connector plating should be verified with the manufacturer before publishing them as guaranteed specifications.

The 15m CAT6 FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable is designed for reliable wired network connectivity in offices, commercial buildings, IT equipment rooms, and network cabinets. With a blue cable jacket, RJ45 connectors, and foil shielding, this Ethernet patch cable provides a practical solution for connecting compatible network devices over longer distances.

1. CAT6 Network Performance

Category 6 cabling is designed for Ethernet applications requiring improved transmission performance compared with Category 5e. With a nominal bandwidth rating of 250 MHz, compliant CAT6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter channels under suitable conditions.

2. FTP Shielding for Interference Management

FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) cable construction incorporates foil shielding around the twisted-pair conductors. When installed with compatible shielded connectors and appropriate bonding, this design can help reduce the impact of external electromagnetic interference.

3. Convenient 15-Meter Length

The 15-meter cable length is suitable for connecting devices positioned farther apart, including network switches, routers, workstations, patch panels, and compatible Ethernet outlets.

4. RJ45 Connector Interface

RJ45 connectors provide a widely used interface for Ethernet networking. This cable can be used to connect compatible devices without requiring a separate connector installation, provided the cable is supplied with the required connector configuration.

5. Gold-Plated Contact Option

Gold-plated RJ45 contacts can help resist surface corrosion and maintain reliable electrical contact. Actual performance and durability depend on connector quality, plating thickness, and usage conditions.

6. Blue Cable Jacket for Easy Identification

The blue jacket helps users identify and organize network connections in offices, network cabinets, and equipment rooms.

• Office LAN and desktop network connections

• Router-to-switch and switch-to-device connections

• Network cabinet and equipment rack patching

• Commercial Ethernet installations

• IT network maintenance and cable replacement

• Structured cabling projects requiring compatible CAT6 patch cables

This cable combines CAT6 cabling specifications with a shielded design for installations where both network performance and interference management are important. Its 15-meter length provides additional flexibility for equipment placement, while RJ45 connectivity makes it suitable for compatible Ethernet devices.

For professional installations and bulk purchasing, confirm the exact cable category, shielding construction, conductor material, connector details, and applicable test reports before placing an order.

Actual performance depends on the complete cabling channel and compliance with the relevant standards. Shielding does not automatically guarantee better performance in every installation.

Q1. What is a CAT6 FTP shielded network cable?

A CAT6 FTP cable is a Category 6 Ethernet cable incorporating foil shielding around its twisted-pair conductors. It is designed for network connections that require CAT6 transmission performance and additional protection against electromagnetic interference when installed correctly.

Q2. Does this cable support Gigabit Ethernet?

Compliant CAT6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over channels up to 100 meters. The performance of this specific 15-meter patch cable depends on its construction, connectors, and test results.

Q3. Can CAT6 support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?

CAT6 can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter channels, typically up to 55 meters under suitable conditions. CAT6A is the more appropriate choice for installations requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a full 100-meter channel.

Q4. What is the difference between CAT6 FTP and CAT6 UTP?

CAT6 FTP incorporates foil shielding, while CAT6 UTP does not have overall foil shielding. FTP can be advantageous in environments with electromagnetic interference, but the shielding must be installed and bonded appropriately. UTP is often suitable for ordinary office networking.

Q5. Why choose a 15-meter Ethernet cable?

A 15-meter cable offers flexibility when connecting devices located farther apart, such as a router and workstation, network switch and equipment cabinet, or other compatible Ethernet devices. Measure the required route before ordering to avoid excessive cable length or insufficient reach.

Q6. Are the RJ45 connectors gold-plated?

The supplied product description specifies gold-plated RJ45 plugs. For projects requiring a particular plating thickness or connector standard, request confirmation from the supplier.

Q7. Can this cable connect to a standard Ethernet switch or router?

Yes, provided the cable has compatible RJ45 connectors and the devices support Ethernet connections. CAT6 cables are generally backward-compatible with equipment designed for lower-category twisted-pair Ethernet cabling.

Q8. Can I order CAT6 FTP cables in bulk?

Bulk orders can be discussed with the supplier, subject to stock availability and purchasing terms. Provide the required quantity, cable length, connector requirements, and delivery destination to obtain an accurate quotation.

Q9. What should I do if the cable arrives damaged or does not match the order?

Take clear photos of the cable, connectors, packaging, and product label. Contact the supplier with your order number and a description of the issue. The supplier can review the discrepancy and advise on applicable warranty, return, or replacement procedures.
