Microconnect B-FTP605O networking cable Orange 5 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP605O is a 5 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and F/UTP (foil over twisted pair) shielding. It supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is tested to the Cat6 frequency of 250 MHz. The orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify in installations and the connectors include latch protection to reduce the risk of damage during tight installations.

Advantages

The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing transmission errors. Backwards compatibility with Cat5e and Cat5 allows use with older network equipment. The 5 m length and standard RJ-45 terminations provide a ready-to-use solution for patching between devices, panels or wall outlets.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels
• Small office and home network cabling
• Connecting networked entertainment devices (smart TVs, consoles)
• Environments where EMI reduction is needed

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6, tested to 250 MHz
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with latch protection
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil over twisted pair)
• Colour: Orange
• Weight: 0.038 kg

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router, modem or wall outlet) and the other into the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, use the cable in installations that require reduced EMI and where a visible, colour-coded cable run is helpful. Avoid kinking the cable and do not exceed recommended bend radii; keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to minimise interference.
