Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 Patch Cable Yellow 2m

The Draka Comteq HP-FTP Cat6 patch cable in yellow, 2 meters long, is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connections in office, data center and residential environments. Constructed with F/UTP (FTP) shielding, this Cat6 cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for stable data transmission at typical gigabit Ethernet speeds. The 2 m length and bright yellow jacket simplify cable routing and identification in patch panels, switches and wall outlets.

Advantages

The HP-FTP design provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, which supports more consistent network performance in electrically noisy environments. The Cat6 specification enables higher bandwidth and better pair-to-pair performance than Cat5e, helping maintain throughput for modern devices. The yellow outer jacket offers visual distinction for easier troubleshooting and organization, while the flexible construction facilitates neat installation and re-routing.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, VoIP phones and printers to switches or patch panels
• Short runs between network devices in racks and cabinets
• Home and office gigabit Ethernet setups where EMI protection is preferred
• Labeling and color-coded cable management schemes

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: F/UTP (FTP) — foil shield around all pairs
• Length: 2 meters
• Conductor type: stranded copper suitable for patch cords
• Jacket color: yellow
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated
• Suitable for: up to gigabit Ethernet and typical Cat6 performance parameters

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into your network device (switch, router, patch panel or network interface on a computer) and the other connector into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain gentle bend radii to preserve performance. For permanent installations, use appropriate cable management such as cable ties or trays to secure the patch cord without excessive tension.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this HP-FTP Cat6 patch cable for short to medium patching runs within racks and between nearby equipment. Avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines and keep connectors clean and dry. When integrating into a color-coded cabling plan, store spare cables untangled to reduce wear on connectors.
