Lindy 48350 networking cable Grey 30 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Lindy 48350 networking cable is a 30 m Cat5e patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable copper Ethernet links in homes and small to medium offices. Constructed to Cat5e specifications and featuring F/UTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain consistent data transmission over 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for visible installations while the length supports flexible device placement across rooms or within structured cabling runs.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding around the drain wire and twisted pairs helps suppress external interference and improves signal integrity compared with unshielded alternatives. Cat5e-rated performance ensures compatibility with gigabit Ethernet over copper up to the standard distance limits, while the RJ-45 terminations provide universal compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels and network interface ports. The 30 m length enables flexible deployment without the need for intermediate connections or additional extenders in many typical layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, network printers and VoIP phones to switches or routers
• Patch connections between wall outlets and patch panels in small office networks
• Home network wiring where moderate cable length and EMI protection are required
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a 30 m Ethernet link

Key specifications

• Cable length: 30 m
• Cabling standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs plus drain)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Supported link types: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Uncoil the cable and verify both RJ-45 connectors are intact. Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the network port of the devices you want to connect, such as a switch, router, patch panel or computer network interface. Ensure connectors click into place and check link/activity LEDs on network devices to confirm a physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. If running through cable ducts or conduits, verify the bend radius and space requirements of the installation pathway.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable and keep it separated from mains power cables and large electrical equipment. Use the 30 m length within typical Cat5e distance limits for reliable gigabit links; for longer runs or higher shielding needs consider higher-category or fully shielded cabling.
