Microconnect B-FTP502S networking cable Black 2 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The MicroConnect B-FTP502S is a 2-meter RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable designed for reliable wired connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers and patch panels. Compliant with the Cat5e standard and tested up to 100 MHz, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is backwards compatible with Cat5 installations. Built with latch protection and F/UTP shielding, it reduces risk of connector damage during tight installations and minimizes electromagnetic interference for stable signal transmission.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduces crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing errors. Latch protection on the RJ-45 connector prevents damage during installation in confined spaces. The 2 m length and black design provide a tidy, professional appearance suitable for home and office setups. Compliance with Cat5e standards ensures interoperability with existing Cat5 and Cat5e network infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, modems and switches to patch panels or wall jacks
• Home and small office local area network (LAN) wiring
• Connecting PCs, network printers and media devices to wired networks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e, tested up to 100 MHz
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shielded twisted pair)
• Color: Black
• Maximum data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Weight: 0.038 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (router, switch, modem or PC) and the other RJ-45 plug to the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place via the latch protection to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of strong interference; use cable management accessories as needed to maintain tidy cabling.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within typical Cat5e length limits for horizontal cabling and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use shielded or grounded patch panels and equipment where available to maximize the effectiveness of the F/UTP shielding.
