Microconnect STP520 netwerkkabel grijs 20 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect STP520 Grey Cat5e 20 m is a shielded F/UTP Cat5e networking cable designed for reliable connections between devices such as switches, modems, routers and infrastructure terminations like patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. With a length of 20 m and support for Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz, the cable is suitable for small office, home network and entertainment applications and is backwards compatible with Cat5.

Advantages

The cable features F/UTP shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), reducing crosstalk and preserving data integrity. It is manufactured with latch protection on the RJ45 connector to prevent damage during installation in tight spaces. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and comes in a grey jacket for easy identification.

How to use

Route the Microconnect STP520 cable between your network devices and infrastructure terminations. Insert RJ45 connectors into corresponding ports on switches, routers, modems or wall jacks until the latch clicks. When running the cable through conduits or tight openings, use the latch protection feature to minimise the risk of connector damage. Ensure proper cable management to avoid excessive bending or kinking that could impair signal quality.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended distances for Ethernet, avoid running alongside high-power electrical lines to reduce residual interference, and terminate the cable using compatible shielded connectors and properly grounded equipment when using F/UTP shielding.
