Microconnect B-FTP603O networking cable Orange 3 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP603O is a 3 m RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable with F/UTP shielding, designed for stable high-speed data transmission between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. It meets Cat6 requirements (tested up to 250 MHz), is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and features latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation. The orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify within structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, helping to maintain data integrity and consistent transmission speeds. Cat6 specification testing up to 250 MHz supports higher bandwidth applications compared with Cat5e. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs protects the connector clip during tight installations. At 3 m length and 0.076 kg weight, the cable is flexible and easy to route in home and small-office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall jacks
• Home and small office Ethernet networks
• Multimedia and entertainment devices requiring stable wired connections
• Structured cabling where identification by colour is useful

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6 (tested up to 250 MHz)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shielding)
• Connectors: RJ-45 — RJ-45 with latch protection
• Length: 3 m
• Colour: Orange
• Weight: 0.076 kg
• Backward compatibility: Cat5e, Cat5

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (switch, router, modem or wall outlet) and the other into the corresponding port on the destination device or patch panel. Ensure the connector latch clicks into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise for best performance. For installations through conduits or tight panels, the latch protection reduces the chance of damaging the plug during insertion.

Recommendations

For optimum performance, use the Microconnect B-FTP603O for wired connections in environments with potential EMI (near power equipment or dense cabling) and avoid kinking or stretching the cable. Maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cables and keep runs within suitable length for the intended network design.
