Microconnect B-FTP603B networking cable Blue 3 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP603B is a 3 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding. It provides a reliable wired connection between devices such as switches, modems, routers or to building infrastructure via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. The cable is tested to the Cat6 standard (up to 250 MHz), is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and is finished in blue.

Advantages

This shielded Cat6 cable reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helps prevent crosstalk, which can otherwise lead to data errors and reduced transmission speeds. The cable is rated for data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and includes latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Its 3 m length suits typical desk-to-rack or equipment-to-outlet connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches, modems and network devices
• Wiring between patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets
• Small office and home network installations
• Audio/video and entertainment systems requiring stable wired links

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: F/UTP (B-FTP)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with latch protection
• Max data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Blue
• Weight: 0.076 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a device (for example a router, switch or modem) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the receiving device, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its specified 3 m length and maintain proper bend radius. Use shielded connectors and grounding in installations where EMI is a concern, and verify compatibility with existing Cat5e/Cat5 infrastructure when mixing cable types.
