Cat 6 F/UTP PVC Cable for Shielded Ethernet Networks
Cat 6 F/UTP PVC cable from ETK Kablo is a four-pair, 23 AWG solid copper cable for indoor structured networking. It combines an overall foil screen with a PVC outer jacket and electrical performance specifications up to 250 MHz. Designed for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet applications, it forms part of our Cat 6 F/UTP cable range.
Overall Foil Screening for Network Cabling
F/UTP identifies an overall foil screen surrounding four individually unscreened twisted pairs. This cable uses aluminium/polyester tape and a tinned copper drain wire. Solid polyethylene insulation covers each conductor, while a star-shaped separator keeps the pairs apart.
The screen helps reduce electromagnetic interference when used with compatible shielded connectors and correct bonding and grounding. Follow the installation requirements for separation from power circuits; a foil screen does not remove those requirements.
Cat 6 F/UTP PVC Cable Size
| Cable Size | Pair Count | Conductor Count | Conductor Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat 6 F/UTP PVC 4x2x23 AWG | 4 | 8 | 23 AWG |
The 4x2x23 AWG designation means four pairs, two conductors per pair and a conductor size of 23 AWG. Include the complete product designation in your enquiry and confirm the required packing length with ETK Kablo.
Gigabit Ethernet and PoE Applications
Typical uses include fixed links between patch panels and network outlets in offices, residential developments and commercial buildings. The cable can serve Ethernet connections for computers, IP phones, network cameras and other compatible network devices.
ETK’s technical sheet lists both Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. For PoE projects, confirm the required power level, cable bundle size and ambient temperature during selection. Link performance also depends on connectors, patch cords, installation quality and channel length.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cat 6 FTP the same as Cat 6 F/UTP?
FTP is often used as a shortened description for an overall foil-screened cable. F/UTP is the more precise designation for this product: one overall foil screen and no individual pair screens. Check the specified construction when comparing cables.
How does F/UTP differ from U/UTP and S/FTP?
U/UTP has no metallic screen. F/UTP uses an overall foil screen. S/FTP combines an overall braid with individually foil-screened pairs. These constructions should not be treated as interchangeable product names.
Is the PVC jacket halogen-free?
No. This product uses PVC. If the project requires low smoke, halogen-free materials, see our Cat 6 F/UTP LSOH Ethernet cable. The PVC product’s listed IEC 60332-1-2 flame retardancy does not establish halogen-free or fire resistant performance.
Can this cable be used outdoors or buried directly?
The specification lists a UV-resistant PVC jacket. UV resistance alone does not establish suitability for wet ducts, permanent water exposure or direct burial. Ask ETK Kablo to confirm the appropriate cable for the installation conditions.
Request a Cat 6 F/UTP PVC Cable Quotation
Contact ETK Kablo with your required quantity, packing length, installation conditions and any PoE requirements. Specify Cat 6 F/UTP PVC 4x2x23 AWG so our team can prepare a quotation for the correct configuration.
