Microconnect B-FTP502W netwerkkabel wit 2 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP502W is a 2 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and F/UTP (foil over twisted pairs) shielding. It supports Cat5e testing up to 100 MHz and is suitable for connecting switches, modems, routers or patch panels in home and small office networks. The white jacket provides a discreet appearance for visible installations.

Advantages

Shielding (F/UTP) reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helps prevent crosstalk, improving signal integrity and reducing transmission errors. The cable is backwards compatible with Cat5, rated for Cat5e performance, and designed with latch protection on the RJ-45 plugs to prevent connector damage during installation in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and modems
• Patch panels and keystone jacks
• Home network and small office Ethernet setups
• Visible installations where a white cable is preferred

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device (router, switch, modem) and the other connector into the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place using the latch protection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong interference. Verify link status on connected devices to confirm proper connection and negotiated speeds.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable for Cat5e-rated installations and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines. If you require higher bandwidth or longer runs, consider Cat6 or higher-rated shielded cables. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace if the latch is compromised.
