Microconnect B-FTP6015R networking cable Red 1.5 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP6015R is a 1.5 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors, designed for connecting switches, modems, routers and other network devices or for linking to infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable meets Cat6 testing up to 250 MHz, supports data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s and features F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. It is supplied in a red jacket and includes latch protection to prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding improves signal integrity by protecting against EMI and reducing crosstalk, which helps maintain reliable data transmission and lower error rates. Cat6 design and 250 MHz testing ensure compatibility with high-speed networks and backward compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 infrastructure. The built-in latch protection minimizes the risk of damaging the RJ-45 connector during installation, while the 1.5 m length and bright red colour make cable management and identification easier.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems in home and small office networks
• Patch panel or keystone jack connections in structured cabling
• Short-distance links between networked devices and media equipment

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shielded pairs with overall drain)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 1.5 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Red
• Weight: 0.038 kg

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (switch, router, modem or network interface) and the other end into the corresponding port on the receiving device or into a patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protection engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use the cable for short to medium runs within racks or between devices in the same room; avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or physical strain. When installing in environments with high electromagnetic interference, confirm correct grounding and routing to maximize the benefits of F/UTP shielding.
