2.5m Cat 6 U/UTP LSHF Patch Lead
The TruAccessories range of Cat 6 U/UTP LSHF patch leads for network/data cabling are available in 13 lengths, from 0.3 meters to 20 meters and in 10 different colours for easy identification.
Offered in blue, red, grey, violet, yellow and green, this 2.5 meter Category 5 patch lead is Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF); suitable for installations in public buildings, data centres, computer rooms, server rooms and other applications where fire safety is critical.
Featuring a latch protector and flush moulded boot to provide strain relief and prevent the RJ45 plug coming loose from the cable, these cables use 24AWG stranded plain copper conductors for optimum performance while maintaining flexibility - ideal for where space is limited.
- Flush moulded strain relief boot
- 10/100/1000 BaseT gigabit ethernet
- 24AWG stranded plain copper
- 5 colours for easy identification

Category cables incorporate various screening types to reduce EMI. The terminology used in the industry can be very confusing, so we have put together some diagrams to better explain the terms we use. For more information, take a look at the different screening types here.
U/UTP
U/UTP This cable is not shielded at all
U/FTP
U/FTP No overall shielding or braid (U) with foil screened twisted pairs (FTP)
F/UTP
F/UTP An overall foil shield (F) with unscreened twisted pairs (UTP)
S/UTP
S/UTP An overall braid screen (S) with unscreened twisted pairs (UTP)
SF/UTP
SF/UTP Both an overall braid screen (S) and foil shield (F) with unscreened twisted pairs (UTP)
F/FTP
F/FTP An overall foil shield (F) with foil screened twisted pairs (FTP)
S/FTP
S/FTP An overall braid screen (S) with foil screened twisted pairs (FTP)
SF/FTP
SF/FTP An overall braid screen (S) and an overall foil shield(F) with foil screened twisted pairs (FTP)
