Microconnect B-FTP6005 networking cable Grey 0.5 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP6005 RJ-45 Cat6 0.5 m Grey is a 0.5 m category 6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding. It supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz and is suitable for common home and small office network connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5.

Advantages

The shielded B-FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity and lower transmission errors. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs prevents damage to the connector clip during installation in tight spaces. The short 0.5 m length and grey colour make it convenient for tidy connections between close devices and for visible runs in desk or rack setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router to a switch or modem over short distances
• Patch panel to switch connections in small racks or cabinets
• Short runs behind desks, entertainment centers or wall outlets

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device (router, switch, modem or NIC) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the other device or to a patch panel/keystone jack. Ensure the latch clicks into place and avoid excessive bending or tension on the cable to preserve shielding and cable integrity. For best performance, keep the cable run short and away from major sources of interference when possible.

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat6 patch cable for short indoor connections where EMI reduction is important, such as near power supplies or electronic equipment. For longer runs choose appropriately rated Cat6 or higher cable lengths and ensure compatible connectors and ports.
