Microconnect B-FTP605S networking cable Black 5 m Cat6 F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP605S RJ-45 Cat6 5 m Black is a shielded Cat6 patch cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels or wall outlets. This 5 m cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is tested to the Cat6 standard frequency of 250 MHz. It is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 and features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with latch protection to reduce connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helps prevent crosstalk that can degrade data integrity and slow transmission. The cable’s Cat6 specification and 250 MHz test frequency provide improved performance over older categories, while backward compatibility ensures interoperability with existing Cat5e/Cat5 infrastructure. Latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors limits the risk of latch breakage during routing and installation.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between switches, routers and modems
• Patching between devices and patch panels or keystone jacks
• Small office and home network setups
• Entertainment systems requiring stable high-speed Ethernet

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device (for example a switch, router or modem) and the other end to the receiving device or to a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid placing it near strong sources of electromagnetic noise where possible. For installations in limited space, use the latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect B-FTP605S for runs up to 5 m where shielding is preferred to reduce EMI. For longer runs, choose a longer certified Cat6 cable and follow standard cabling best practices: avoid kinking, maintain bend radius, and separate power cables to minimise interference.
