Microconnect B-FTP603Y networking cable Yellow 3 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP603Y is a 3 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and F/UTP (foil around twisted pairs with overall braid) shielding. It supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is tested to the Cat6 frequency of 250 MHz. The yellow jacket improves visibility for easy identification in network installations and the cable is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 equipment.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable features F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and minimise crosstalk, which helps maintain signal integrity and lower error rates. The RJ-45 connectors include latch protection to prevent damage during tight installations. Its 3 m length offers a balance between reach and tidy cabling for small office, home or rack setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home network installations
• LAN gaming, media streaming and entertainment systems
• Temporary or visible cabling where color-coded identification is useful

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the Microconnect B-FTP603Y to your network device (switch, router or modem) and the other end to the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place and the latch protection remains intact when routing the cable through tight spaces. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it separate from high-power electrical lines to preserve shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its 3 m length for typical desktop and rack connections, maintain bend radius recommendations from the device manufacturer, and avoid running the cable parallel to power cables to reduce residual interference.
