Networking cable Microconnect CON5FTPE 5m Cat5e U/FTP

The Microconnect CON5FTPE is a 5 m Cat5e networking cable with U/FTP shielding and RJ45 connectors, designed for reliable data transmission in home and office networks. It supports up to 1 Gbps and reduces electromagnetic interference through foil-shielded pairs, providing a stable wired connection between routers, switches, computers and other networked devices.

Advantages

The U/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) construction minimises crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity over the full 5 m length. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure corrosion resistance and consistent contact quality. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5 and fits standard RJ45 ports, offering straightforward plug-and-play installation.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between router and PC
• Connecting switches or patch panels in small office networks
• Home entertainment systems and set-top boxes
• Temporary or permanent LAN links requiring up to 1 Gbps

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding LAN port on your devices (router, switch, computer). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and physical damage to the cable and keep the cable routed away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as large motors or unshielded power lines.

Recommendations

For reliable gigabit performance, use the Microconnect CON5FTPE cable for direct device-to-device links or short patch runs. Replace the cable if the outer jacket or connectors show visible wear or damage to maintain signal quality.
