Microconnect B-FTP510S networking cable Black 10 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP510S RJ-45 Cat5e 10 m Black is a 10 m network patch cable designed for reliable data transmission at Cat5e standard. It supports up to 100 MHz testing frequency and a data rate of 1000 Mbit/s, features RJ-45 connectors on both ends, and uses foil-shielded twisted pair (F/UTP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable is black and includes latch protection on the connectors to reduce the risk of damage during installation in confined spaces.

Advantages

Shielded F/UTP construction lowers EMI and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with electrical noise. Backwards compatible with Cat5 cabling, this Cat5e cable provides tested performance up to 100 MHz. RJ-45 connectors on both ends and integrated latch protection simplify installation and help prevent connector breakage. The 10 m length offers flexibility for home and small office layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home network installations
• Media and entertainment device connections (smart TV, game consoles, set-top boxes)
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred

How to use

Route the cable between network devices or from a device to a wall outlet or patch panel, ensuring the RJ-45 connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension along the cable run to maintain performance. If routing through tight spaces, use the connector latch protection to reduce the risk of clip damage during installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs under recommended maximum lengths for Ethernet standards, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines, and use shielded connectors and properly grounded equipment when installing in electrically noisy environments.
