Cabo de rede Microconnect B-FTP520 cinzento 20 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Microconnect B-FTP520 is a 20 m Cat5e networking cable with F/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It provides a reliable wired connection between network devices such as switches, modems, routers or to infrastructure points like patch panels, keystone jacks and wall outlets. The cable is suitable for small office, home networks and entertainment setups, tested to the Cat5e standard (up to 100 MHz) and backward compatible with Cat5. Latch protection on the connectors reduces the risk of connector damage during installation in tight spaces, while the shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helps prevent crosstalk and transmission errors.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding reduces susceptibility to EMI, improving signal integrity and lowering error rates. Cat5e certification ensures performance up to 100 MHz with backward compatibility to Cat5 equipment. Built-in latch protection prolongs connector life during installation, and the 20 m length covers longer cable runs in home and office environments. RJ-45 connectors on both ends make the cable compatible with standard networking devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers or modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office wired networks
• Streaming and entertainment devices requiring stable wired connections
• Installations in areas with potential electromagnetic interference

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router or modem) and the other into the destination port such as a patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place with the latch protection engaged. For best performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks or running the cable in parallel for long distances with power lines. Verify link status on connected devices after installation to confirm network connectivity.

Recommendations

Use the Microconnect B-FTP520 for fixed wired links where EMI may affect performance. For shorter runs or where shielding is unnecessary, unshielded Cat5e or Cat6 alternatives may suffice. Avoid excessive bending and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to maintain signal quality.
