Microconnect B-FTP502B networking cable Blue 2 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP502B is a 2 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for reliable data connections in home and office networks. Built to the Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and features F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The blue jacket and latch protection on the connectors make it suitable for organized setups and installations where the connector may be routed through tight spaces.

Advantages

This shielded Cat5e cable (F/UTP) minimizes EMI and crosstalk, which helps maintain signal integrity and reduces transmission errors. The RJ-45 connectors on both ends and the 2 m length provide a simple plug-and-play solution for connecting switches, routers, modems, patch panels or keystone jacks. Latch protection on the connectors lowers the risk of damage during installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to network outlets or patch panels
• Home and small office wired Ethernet connections
• Connecting networked entertainment devices (smart TVs, set-top boxes)
• Short run connections within structured cabling racks or desk setups

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router, modem or wall outlet) and the other into the target device or patch panel. Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-power electrical cables where possible. For best performance, maintain cable runs within recommended lengths for Ethernet and avoid excessive twisting or stretching.

Recommendations

Use this F/UTP Cat5e cable in environments where electromagnetic interference may affect signal quality. For longer runs or higher bandwidth needs consider Cat6 or Cat6a alternatives; for typical home and small office connections this 2 m cable provides a reliable, shielded option.
