Microconnect B-FTP602O networking cable Orange 2 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP602O is a 2 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding. It supports Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz, offers data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. The cable's orange jacket improves visibility in installations and the connectors include latch protection to reduce the risk of damage during tight installations.

Advantages

Shielding (F/UTP) reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), lowering crosstalk and helping maintain signal integrity and transmission speed. Cat6 testing to 250 MHz ensures higher performance compared with earlier categories, while backwards compatibility preserves interoperability with Cat5e/Cat5 equipment. The RJ-45 connectors and latch protection simplify installation and reduce the chance of connector damage in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between computers, switches, routers and modems
• Patch panel and keystone jack terminations in offices or data cabinets
• Small office and home network setups
• Entertainment systems requiring stable, high-speed links

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device (switch, router, modem or computer) and the other end to the target device or wall outlet/patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protection engaged; avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors. For best performance, do not run shielded cables in parallel and close proximity with high-power AC lines without proper grounding of the shielded system.

Recommendations

For optimal shielding performance, terminate the cable shield correctly on compatible metal keystone jacks or patch panels and ensure proper grounding of the network rack or outlet. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation to maintain integrity of the cable and connectors.
