Microconnect B-FTP6005Y networking cable Yellow 0.5 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP6005Y is a 0.5 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable device-to-device or device-to-infrastructure connections. It supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is tested to the Cat6 standard frequency of 250 MHz. The cable features F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and comes in a yellow jacket for easy identification in installations.

Advantages

Shielded F/UTP construction minimises EMI and crosstalk, helping maintain signal integrity and reducing transmission errors. Backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, the cable supports established network setups while offering Cat6 performance. Latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors prevents accidental damage to the clip during installation in tight spaces. The 0.5 m length is suitable for short patching between devices or to patch panels and wall outlets.

Suitable for

• Short connections between network devices (switch, router, modem)
• Patch panels and keystone jacks in small office and home networks
• Connections where EMI reduction is required (near electrical equipment)
• Visible or colour-coded cabling setups where yellow identification is helpful

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6, tested to 250 MHz

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices, patch panel or wall outlet until the latch clicks into place. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain a stable link. For best performance route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic noise and avoid excessive bending around sharp corners. Check link indicators on your devices to confirm a successful connection.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 shielded cable for short, high-speed connections where EMI protection and clear colour identification are important. For longer runs, select an appropriately longer Cat6 cable to maintain signal quality and meet installation requirements.
