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

The InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e grey 0.3m is a short patch lead engineered for reliable Ethernet connections in confined installations. Compliant with Cat5e performance parameters and equipped with F/UTP shielding, the cable guards signal lines from external electromagnetic interference while maintaining compact physical dimensions. Its 0.3 m length and neutral grey jacket make it suited to patch panels, switches, routers and equipment that require tidy, short runs.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cable combines compact length with foil-shielded twisted-pair construction to reduce crosstalk and external noise. The short 0.3 m form factor minimises cable clutter in racks and wall-mounted setups. The grey PVC jacket provides a discreet appearance and straightforward identification in mixed-cable environments. The cable is suitable for standard Ethernet speeds supported by Cat5e, offering a balance of performance and space efficiency.

Suitable for

• Connecting network ports on switches, routers and patch panels where short cable runs are required
• Server racks and data cabinets with dense cabling to reduce cable slack
• Desk setups and AV cabinets where tidy, visible connections are preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.5e
• Shielding: Foil shielded, F/UTP
• Length: 0.3 m
• Colour: Grey
• Connector type: Standard RJ45 terminated (8P8C) — compatible with Ethernet ports

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until a click confirms engagement. Use the cable for direct device-to-device or device-to-panel connections where the 0.3 m length is adequate. Avoid sharp bends at the connector exit and do not stretch the cable; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For installations in racks or enclosures, route the cable along cable management paths to prevent interference and mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e F/UTP cable in environments where shielded cabling is beneficial, such as near power equipment or densely cabled racks. Match with compatible shielded ports or use appropriate grounding practices when integrating with shielded network infrastructure. Replace the cable if connector damage, exposed conductors, or persistent link instability occurs.
