Microconnect STP505 networking cable Grey 5 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect STP505 RJ45 Cat5e 5m Grey is a shielded 5-meter networking cable designed to connect devices such as switches, modems and routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Manufactured to Cat5e specifications and tested up to 100 MHz, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is backward compatible with Cat5 installations. The cable features latch protection on the RJ45 connectors and F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk.

Advantages

The cable provides stable, high-speed connections for small office and home networks and entertainment systems while the metal foil shielding (F/UTP) protects against EMI-related signal degradation. Latch protection on the connectors reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces. Its 5 m length and grey jacket make it suitable for common horizontal and patching runs without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Small office and home network setups
• Ethernet connections for media players, smart TVs and networked storage

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding network ports on your devices or into wall plates and patch panels. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protection engaged. Route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise where possible; if running through conduit or tight spaces, confirm the latch protection prevents snagging. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep cable length within recommended limits for Ethernet runs.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect STP505 for network segments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required. For typical home and small office installations, pair this cable with Cat5e-compliant equipment and maintain proper cable management to ensure consistent 1000 Mbit/s performance.
