CAT6 F/UTP Cable – Stranded – LSOH – Grey – Per Metre

CAT6 F/UTP Cable – Stranded – LSOH – Grey – Per Metre

The CAT6 F/UTP Cable – Stranded – LSOH – Grey – Per Metre is a shielded Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connectivity in telecommunications infrastructure, data centres, commercial buildings and structured cabling environments.

Featuring stranded conductors, the cable provides greater flexibility than solid conductor alternatives, making it particularly suitable for custom patch lead assemblies, equipment connections and installations where cables may require frequent handling or movement.

The F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction incorporates an overall foil screen surrounding four unshielded twisted pairs. This screening helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) from surrounding electrical equipment and neighbouring cables, supporting consistent network performance in environments where interference may affect data transmission.

Manufactured with an LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath, the cable is designed to produce reduced smoke emissions and avoid halogen acid gas release during combustion compared with conventional PVC-sheathed alternatives. The grey sheath provides a professional appearance and allows straightforward identification within communications cabinets, patching systems and cable management installations.

Designed for Category 6 networking applications, the cable supports Gigabit Ethernet connectivity when used with suitable networking components and installed as part of a compliant cabling channel. Supplied per metre, it offers flexibility when producing custom-length network cables or undertaking specific installation requirements.
