Product Information
Full details
The FDL CAT.6 Patch Cable is an essential tool for IT professionals and home office users requiring reliable, high-speed networking for devices like routers, switches, and workstations. It excels at maintaining stable data transmission up to 1 Gigabit speeds, making it an ideal choice for modern internet setups; however, its 1.5-meter length limits its use to connections between nearby equipment, such as a modem and a patch panel or a nearby desktop computer.

FAQs
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable.
Can I use this for my PlayStation or Xbox?
Yes, this cable is fully compatible with any device equipped with a standard RJ45 Ethernet port.
Does it support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the cable is rated for PoE++ applications, allowing it to deliver both data and power.
What does LSZH stand for?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, which refers to a cable jacket material that emits low smoke and no toxic halogens during a fire.
Is this cable compatible with Cat5e systems?
Yes, Cat.6 cables are backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure.
What is the maximum data speed this cable can handle?
The cable supports data speeds up to 1 Gigabit (1000 Mbps).
Troubleshooting
Device displays 'Network Cable Unplugged' error.
Ensure the RJ45 connector is fully inserted into the port and the locking tab has clicked into place.
Network speeds are slower than expected.
Check that both network devices support Gigabit standards and ensure the cable is not bundled tightly with high-voltage power lines.
Intermittent connection drops.
Inspect the cable for physical damage, such as kinks, cuts, or crushed sections caused by heavy furniture or door hinges.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality solid copper conductors ensure stable signal transmission
- LSZH sheath increases safety in professional and office environments
- Anti-snagging boots protect against accidental breakage of locking tabs
- Certified for PoE++ power delivery applications
- Compact 1.5M length minimizes cable clutter in server racks or desks
Cons
- Fixed 1.5-meter length restricts placement to short-distance connections
- UTP design lacks shielding, making it susceptible to heavy EMI in industrial environments
- Black color scheme may not suit all aesthetic preferences
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply insert the RJ45 connector into any standard Ethernet port until you hear a audible click. To remove, depress the protective moulded boot latch completely before pulling to ensure the connector does not snag. While the cable is durable, avoid bending it at sharp 90-degree angles, as this can degrade the twisted pair geometry and reduce signal performance. If the cable becomes dusty, wipe it with a dry, lint-free cloth; avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials. Always verify that your switch or router ports are rated for Gigabit speeds to take full advantage of the cable's capabilities.
