Microconnect B-FTP602R networking cable Red 2 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP602R RJ-45 Cat6 2m Red is a 2-meter shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers or to building infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Built to Cat6 standard and tested up to 250 MHz, the cable supports high-speed data transfer (up to 10000 Mbit/s) and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5. It features RJ-45 connectors, F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and a red jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding minimizes EMI and crosstalk, preserving signal integrity and reducing transmission errors. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs prevents connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Compliance with Cat6 performance (tested to 250 MHz) ensures compatibility with modern high-speed networks while remaining usable with older Cat5e/Cat5 equipment. The 2 m length and bright red color simplify routing and identification in small office, home or data center setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office network cabling
• Connecting networked entertainment devices and gaming consoles
• Short runs within racks or between nearby network devices

How to use

Route the Microconnect Cat6 cable between the two devices or between a device and network infrastructure. Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. When passing the cable through confined spaces, use the latch protection to avoid damaging the plug. Ensure both connected devices and intermediate hardware support the required network speeds and shielded cabling if you want to benefit from the EMI protection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable, maintain separation from high-power electrical cables where possible, and terminate or connect the cable using compatible shielded ports or patch panels to preserve the effectiveness of the F/UTP shielding.
