Description

Fiber Cables Direct FCD-12205-RD-20FT Shielded Plenum Cat6 Cable

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCD-12205-RD-20FT is a 20-foot, TAA-compliant Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for demanding network installations where signal integrity and plenum-rated fire safety are paramount. Its shielded construction mitigates electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring stable data transmission for high-bandwidth applications like 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances. The snagless boots protect the RJ45 connectors during installation and removal, while the red jacket aids in visual identification within complex cable management systems. This cable is suitable for runs within air-handling spaces, meeting strict fire codes.

Compatibility

This FCD-12205-RD-20FT cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment supporting Cat6 specifications, including Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, network interface cards (NICs), and IP cameras. It adheres to the TAA (Trade Agreements Act), making it suitable for government and certain enterprise deployments requiring products manufactured in TAA-designated countries. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T and 10GBase-T Ethernet standards up to its 20-foot length.

Installation Notes

The plenum-rated jacket allows for installation in air-handling spaces, but installers must ensure compliance with local building and fire codes. The snagless boots prevent cable damage during pull-throughs, but care should still be taken to avoid sharp bends or excessive strain on the connectors. Ensure termination points (patch panels, wall plates) are also rated appropriately for the network speed and environment.
