Microconnect B-FTP5015W networking cable White 1.5 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP5015W RJ-45 Cat5e 1.5m White is a shielded Cat5e patch cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The 1.5 m cable meets Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz, supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and includes latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable uses F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding which reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helps prevent crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing errors. Backwards compatible with Cat5 infrastructure, it offers a compact white design suitable for visible installations and a lightweight construction (0.036 kg) for easy handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems to patch panels or endpoint devices
• Small office and home networks
• Networked entertainment devices such as smart TVs, game consoles and set-top boxes

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on devices or wall outlets until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields where possible. For installations through narrow openings, use the cable's latch protection to minimize the risk of connector damage during threading.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this shielded Cat5e cable in environments with potential EMI (near power supplies, fluorescent lighting or other electronic equipment). Ensure both ends are seated fully and, where applicable, maintain proper grounding of shielded patch panels or outlets to realize the benefit of the F/UTP shielding.
