Microconnect B-FTP5005 networking cable Grey 0.5 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP5005 RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5m Grey is a short networking cable designed for reliable connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers or patch panels. Compliant with the Cat5e standard, the cable is tested up to 100 MHz and supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. It features RJ-45 connectors, F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and a latch protection on the connector to reduce the risk of damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP construction reduces EMI and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with potential interference. Backwards compatibility with Cat5 ensures interoperability with existing infrastructure. The short 0.5 m length minimises excess cable in dense installations and the RJ-45 connectors with latch protection simplify secure, durable connections.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting network devices (switch, router, modem) at short distance
• Patch panel or keystone jack connections in compact installations
• Small office and home network links for data and entertainment

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices (switch, router, modem or patch panel) until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; the short length is intended for nearby connections and tidy cable management. Verify link status on connected devices to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat5e cable in environments where electromagnetic interference may affect signal quality, and pair it with properly grounded equipment and shielded panels or jacks where available. Avoid excessive twisting or stretching and maintain bend radii recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
