Microconnect B-FTP601 networking cable Grey 1 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP601 RJ-45 Cat6 1 m Grey is a 1 metre networking patch cable that connects devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Built to Cat6 standard and tested to 250 MHz, the cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 and supports high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s. The cable features F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and a latch protection on the RJ-45 connector to prevent damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP construction reduces EMI and crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing transmission errors. Cat6 specification and 250 MHz testing provide increased bandwidth compared with earlier categories. RJ-45 latch protection helps preserve connector integrity during repeated installations or when routing the cable through confined openings. The 1 m length and grey colour make the cable suitable for neat, short-range connections in home and small office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, modems and switches to patch panels or wall outlets
• Short horizontal connections in home or small office networks
• Wiring between network devices and keystone jacks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil screened pairs with overall braid/foil)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with latch protection
• Cable length: 1 m
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Grey
• Weight: 0.026 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the device (router, switch, modem) and the other connector into the patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch engages. Route the cable without excessive bending or kinking and avoid running it parallel and close to high-power electrical cables to minimise interference. For permanent installations, label both ends as needed and secure the cable to avoid strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat6 cable for short-distance connections where reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable higher-speed transmission are important. For longer runs or in environments with heavy electrical noise, consider using appropriately rated shielded structured cabling and follow local installation standards.
