Cavo di rete Microconnect B-FTP5005W bianco 0,5 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP5005W RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5 m White is a 0.5 m Ethernet patch cable designed for connecting network devices such as switches, modems or routers to each other or to structured cabling via patch panels, keystone jacks or wall outlets. Compliant with Cat5e standards and tested up to 100 MHz, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable features F/UTP (B-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and is backward compatible with Cat5 installations. The cable comes in white and includes latch protection on the RJ-45 connectors to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP construction reduces EMI and crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing packet errors. Cat5e compliance and 100 MHz testing ensure predictable performance for typical office and home networking tasks. A short 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter and is suitable for connections within racks, between nearby devices or to wall outlets. Latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs protects the connector clips during installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switch to patch panel or router to modem over short distances
• Home network and small office workstation cabling
• Connections in equipment racks and network cabinets with limited space

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device (switch, router, modem or wall outlet) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the receiving device or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For best results, avoid tight bends and sharp kinks in the cable and route it away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise where possible.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect B-FTP5005W for short fixed connections inside racks, between adjacent devices or to wall-mounted jacks. For longer runs, select an appropriately longer Cat5e or higher-category cable; maintain proper bend radius and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to preserve shielding effectiveness.
