Microconnect B-FTP501 netwerkkabel grijs 1 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP501 is a 1 m Cat5e networking cable with F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for connecting switches, modems, routers and other network devices to patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets, this grey cable supports reliable data transmission and is backwards compatible with Cat5 standards. It is tested to the Cat5e frequency of up to 100 MHz and supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helps prevent crosstalk, preserving signal integrity and lowering error rates. Built-in latch protection prevents connector damage during installations in confined spaces. The 1 m length and standardized RJ-45 terminations make the cable suitable for typical home and small office networking and entertainment setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router, modem or switch to a patch panel or wall outlet
• Short runs between network devices in home or small office environments
• Wired connections for streaming, gaming and office data transfer

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (router, switch, modem) and the other into the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. For installations in tight spaces, route the cable carefully to avoid sharp bends that could stress the connector or shielding. Verify link status on connected devices and test network speed if required.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect B-FTP501 for short wired connections where reduced EMI is beneficial; avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-power electrical cables to maintain optimal signal quality.
