InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e grey 3m

The InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e grey 3m is a 3-metre networking cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. Constructed with F/UTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility and ease of routing. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors to ensure compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network interfaces that support Cat5e performance.

Advantages

The F/UTP design combines an overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs to reduce external interference without significant loss of flexibility. Cat5e specification ensures support for common Ethernet speeds and stable data transmission for typical network loads. The 3 m length provides a balance between reach and neat cable management in small office or home setups, and the grey outer jacket blends unobtrusively with most environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, printers or networked devices to a switch or router
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet connections in small offices
• Home network connections for streaming, online work and gaming
• Temporary or permanent wiring where a 3 m run is appropriate

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.5e (F/UTP)
• Cable length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: Foil overall shield with unshielded twisted pairs (F/UTP)
• Colour: Grey
• Application: Ethernet networking, data transmission

How to use

To install, insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices until the connector latches. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that the cable routing avoids tight bends and pinch points to maintain signal integrity. For patch panel or wall outlet use, route the cable along rack or trunking pathways and secure with appropriate cable management accessories. Test the connection with network diagnostic tools or status LEDs on devices to confirm link and data throughput.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.5e F/UTP patch cable indoors in dry environments and avoid exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat or moisture. For installations near heavy electrical equipment or in areas with high electromagnetic interference, consider additional grounding or using shielded connectors and properly earthed patch panels to maximize shielding effectiveness.
