InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e red 0.5m

The InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e red 0.5m is a short, shielded Ethernet patch lead designed for reliable data transmission in LAN environments. Its F/UTP (foil-shielded, unshielded twisted pair) construction reduces electromagnetic interference, and the cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The compact 0.5 m length and red jacket make it suitable for neat connections between nearby networking devices.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding offers improved protection against external interference compared to unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity. The Cat.5e specification supports Ethernet and Fast Ethernet connections. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors provide plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, hubs and network interface cards. The short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in patch panels and workstations.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches to switches or routers to switches over short distances
• Patch connections in patch panels and rack-mounted equipment
• Linking print servers, network cards and other active or passive network peripherals

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on the devices to be linked (for example, a switch and a router). Ensure connectors click into place for reliable contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, use cable organizers to keep the 0.5 m cable tidy and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use the InLine Cat.5e F/UTP patch cable for short-distance Ethernet and Fast Ethernet links; avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius and keep terminations dry and free of dust to maintain optimal connection quality.
