Network junction box Alantec GN005 — Cat5e, F/UTP (FTP) shielding, White, 50×66×25 mm

Alantec GN005 is a compact network junction box engineered for Cat5e installations with F/UTP (FTP) shielding. The enclosure is constructed from white plastic and measures 50 × 66 × 25 mm, providing a discreet and functional housing for splices, keystone jacks or short patch connections. It is intended for indoor use where shielded Ethernet runs require a protected, accessible point for termination and cable management.

Advantages

The GN005 offers a small footprint that fits into confined spaces while maintaining sufficient internal room for common Cat5e terminations. Its plastic housing provides electrical insulation and physical protection for shielded cables and connectors. The neutral white finish integrates with most interior installations and cabling routes. The box supports tidy routing of F/UTP (FTP) shielded pairs and helps preserve shielding continuity when combined with appropriate grounding practices.

Suitable for

• Indoor network cable splices and jointing for Cat5e F/UTP (FTP) cabling
• Housing keystone jacks or modular connectors in patching points
• Small patch connections and repairs in offices, data closets or residential installations
• Accessible termination points where a compact, tamper-resistant enclosure is required

Key specifications

• Compatible cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding support: F/UTP (FTP) — designed for shielded twisted-pair cable
• Material: white plastic housing providing insulation and impact protection
• External dimensions: 50 × 66 × 25 mm
• Orientation: surface-mountable indoor junction box for cable terminations

How to use

Open the enclosure and position the shielded cable or connectors inside, ensuring the cable shield is prepared according to F/UTP (FTP) termination practices. Place keystone jacks or splice connectors in the box and secure them as needed, taking care to maintain shielding continuity and to provide strain relief for the cable. Close the cover to protect internal connections from accidental disturbance and dust. Mount the box on a flat indoor surface using appropriate screws or adhesive suitable for the installation surface.

Recommendations

For best results, follow shielded cable termination guidelines: prepare the F/UTP (FTP) shield carefully, use compatible shield-aware keystone jacks or connectors, and ensure a reliable earth/ground connection if required by the installation. Avoid overfilling the box with excess cable to maintain a secure cover fit and prevent mechanical strain on connections.
