Microconnect CON5FTP networking cable Microconnect CON5FTP 5m FTP

The Microconnect CON5FTP is a 5-meter FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) networking cable designed to provide stable data transmission for home and office networks. With foil shielding around the pairs, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain consistent network performance for devices such as computers, routers, switches and networked peripherals.

Advantages

The Cat5e FTP construction offers improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting reliable Gigabit and Fast Ethernet connections over short to medium distances. The 5 m length provides flexible placement options for connecting equipment without excess slack, and the RJ45 modular connectors ensure compatibility with standard network ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and printers to routers or switches
• Wired connections for home and small office networks
• Temporary or permanent links between network devices within the same room or adjacent rooms
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is desirable

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector firmly into the network port of the devices to be connected (for example, a computer and a router). Ensure connectors click into place and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise. Test the connection using network diagnostics or by verifying link/activity indicators on the devices to confirm proper operation.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep cable bends larger than the minimum bend radius. If the installation requires outdoor exposure or permanent concealed wiring, consider using cable types rated for those conditions.
