InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e blue 0.3m

The InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e blue 0.3m is a short network patch lead designed for reliable connections in compact installations. Its F/UTP construction provides a foil shield around the twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference, and the cable is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The 0.3 m length makes it suitable for linking devices within racks, switch-to-patch-panel connections, or desktop setups where excess cable must be avoided. The blue jacket identifies the cable visually while preserving standard Cat.5e performance.

Advantages

Foil shielding around the twisted pairs improves resistance to external EMI and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity. The short 0.3 m length minimizes clutter and latency in densely packed environments. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with network ports on switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices. The flexible jacket allows routing in constrained spaces without compromising contact reliability.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in server racks
• Short device-to-device links behind desks or AV equipment
• Home network lifts where a compact, visible color is useful for identification
• Temporary test connections in networking labs or service benches

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP (foil-shielded twisted pair)
• Category: Cat.5e
• Length: 0.3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Blue
• Typical use: Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T networks

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable for short patching runs where minimal slack is needed; avoid pulling the cable tightly or bending it sharply near the connector boots. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of interference and do not run it tightly alongside high-voltage power lines. If used in a rack or panel, route the cable so the connectors are easily accessible for maintenance.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors before use and replace the cable if the jacket or plug shows visible damage. For permanently installed or outdoor runs, select a cable with appropriate ratings; this short F/UTP Cat.5e patch cable is intended for indoor patching and short-distance connections.
