InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e blue 1.5m

The InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e blue 1.5m is a shielded network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections between switches, routers, patch panels and end devices. With F/UTP (foil-shielded pairs with overall braid) construction and standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this 1.5 m cable provides consistent signal transmission while reducing external electromagnetic interference. The blue jacket identifies the cable in installations and fits typical home and office network setups.

Advantages

The F/UTP design offers improved protection against crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity over short runs. Cat.5e specification supports stable data transmission for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet in many practical scenarios. The terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure immediate plug-and-play use without additional assembly. The 1.5 m length is convenient for desk-to-switch connections and tidy patch panel routing while the colored jacket helps with cable management.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and VoIP phones to switches or routers
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in home or small office
• Short-distance connections in data cabinets and patch panels
• Temporary and permanent Ethernet links where interference reduction is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil on pairs with overall braid)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other connector into a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of high-voltage power cables to minimize interference. For installations in cabinets or patch panels, use cable ties or Velcro strips to organize runs and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.5e F/UTP cable for short to medium-length Ethernet connections where reduced electromagnetic interference is desired. Avoid exceeding recommended bend radius and keep the cable away from mains power lines for optimal performance. For longer runs or higher bandwidth requirements, consider higher-category cables such as Cat6 or Cat6a.
