Microconnect B-FTP50025W networking cable White 0.25 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP50025W is a 0.25 m white RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable with F/UTP shielding, designed for reliable short-distance connections between network devices such as switches, modems and routers or to structured cabling via patch panels and wall outlets. Tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz) and backward compatible with Cat5, it supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and features latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

Shielding (F/UTP) reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helps prevent crosstalk, maintaining signal integrity and lowering error rates. The short 0.25 m length is useful for tidy connections in compact setups, and the built-in latch protection preserves the RJ-45 clip during routing and installation. Compliance with Cat5e testing ensures predictable performance for typical office and home network applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to nearby devices
• Patching between outlets, patch panels or keystone jacks
• Short cable runs in home entertainment systems and small offices

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e, tested up to 100 MHz
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around twisted pairs with overall braid absent)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: White
• Maximum supported rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (depending on network equipment)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your router, switch or modem and the other into the target device or wall outlet. Route the cable so the latch is accessible for secure connection; the latch protection reduces risk of clip damage when passing through confined spaces. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from strong sources of interference where possible.

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat5e cable for short, high-quality connections in crowded or electrically noisy environments; verify that connected devices and patch panels support the intended data rates and grounding practices for shielded cabling.
