Microconnect B-FTP6015S networking cable Black 1.5 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP6015S RJ-45 Cat6 1.5m Black is a shielded Cat6 networking cable designed for reliable connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers and patch panels. With a length of 1.5 m and adherence to the Cat6 standard (tested up to 250 MHz), it supports high-speed data transfer and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 installations. The cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a black jacket for a discreet, professional appearance.

Advantages

This F/UTP (B-FTP) shielded cable reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, helping to maintain data integrity and stable transmission rates. It includes latch protection to prevent damage to the connector when routing the cable through tight spaces. The Cat6 construction ensures performance up to the standard 250 MHz while remaining compatible with older cabling standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home network installations
• Entertainment systems and media streaming setups
• Environments where EMI reduction is required

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (router, switch, modem) and the other into the destination port, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to guarantee a secure connection. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force. The latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage in tight installation spaces.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources (large motors, fluorescent lighting, high-power electrical lines). Use the 1.5 m length for short links within racks, between devices on a desk, or to connect wall outlets to nearby network equipment.
