Lindy 48341 networking cable Grey 0.5 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Lindy 48341 networking cable is a 0.5 m RJ-45 Cat5e cable with F-UTP (foil screened, unshielded twisted pair) construction and grey jacket. It supports standard Ethernet cabling for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and provides a short patch or connection lead for linking network devices where space is limited.

Advantages

The F-UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference from external sources while maintaining the Cat5e transmission characteristics. The 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter and is suited for close-proximity connections between switches, routers, patch panels and devices. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure a consistent, plug-and-play interface.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network equipment (switch to patch panel, switch to router)
• Connections behind desks or in compact server racks
• Temporary or permanent links where a short, shielded Cat5e cable is required

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: F-UTP (foil shield around all pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, factory-terminated
• Supported speeds: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices (switch, router, NIC or patch panel). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for short runs to avoid excess slack; if longer distances are required, select an appropriately longer cable to maintain signal performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines for long distances and keep bend radius gentle to prevent damage to the internal pairs. Use the shielded cable in environments with potential electromagnetic interference for improved link stability.
