Microconnect B-FTP505 networking cable Grey 5 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP505 is a 5 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding. It is designed to connect switches, modems, routers and other network devices to patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz), backward compatible with Cat5, and constructed with latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimizes crosstalk, which helps maintain signal integrity and reduces transmission errors. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs prevents accidental damage when routing the cable through narrow openings. At 5 m length and with Cat5e certification, the cable supports reliable wired connections for typical office and home network setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems to network infrastructure
• Patch panel and keystone jack installations
• Home and small office wired networks
• Audio/video and entertainment systems requiring stable wired connections

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil screened twisted pairs, overall braid not present)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with latch protection
• Length: 5 m
• Color: Grey
• Manufacturer: MicroConnect, MPN B-FTP505, EAN 5711045259593

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding RJ-45 port on the network devices or wall outlets until the latch clicks. Route the cable through cable management channels or conduits as needed, taking care not to kink or sharply bend the cable. For installations in confined spaces, the latch protection reduces the chance of damaging the plug during insertion. Ensure both ends are securely connected before powering network equipment.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to power lines or large electrical equipment. Use the shielded cable in environments with potential EMI sources to preserve data integrity. If you require higher bandwidth over longer distances, consider Cat6 or higher standards.
