The Cat6 FTP Modular Plug is a type of connector used in networking applications to terminate twisted-pair cables. “FTP” stands for Foil Twisted Pair, which refers to the cable construction that includes a layer of foil shielding around the twisted-pair conductors. The Cat6 FTP modular plug is specifically designed for Cat6 cables, which are rated for higher data transfer speeds and bandwidth than older Cat5 or Cat5e cables. These connectors typically have eight pins arranged in a specific configuration and are inserted into the end of the cable to create a secure, reliable connection for data transmission.
Cat6 FTP modular plugs have several selling points that make them an attractive option for network installations:
