Microconnect B-FTP601Y networking cable Yellow 1 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP601Y RJ-45 Cat6 1m Yellow is a 1 meter shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers and the network infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. It supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz, is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and features RJ-45 connectors with latch protection. The cable is F/UTP (B-FTP) shielded to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve signal integrity for home and small office network and entertainment applications.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding protects against EMI and reduces crosstalk, helping to maintain data integrity and transmission speed. Cat6-rated testing up to 250 MHz ensures higher performance than Cat5e, while backwards compatibility allows use with existing Cat5e/Cat5 installations. Latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors prevents connector damage during installation in tight spaces. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in cable runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office LANs and entertainment systems
• Upgrading parts of existing Cat5e/Cat5 networks to Cat6 performance
• Installations where EMI protection is required

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into the receiving port on a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure the latch snaps in to secure the connection and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or heavy compression. Use the yellow jacket to identify the cable in multi-cable installations.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended Cat6 distances, avoid routing alongside high-power electrical lines, and terminate or replace cables if the connector latch or shielding is damaged.
