Lindy 48391 networking cable Grey 1 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Lindy 48391 is a 1 m networking cable with RJ-45 connectors, compliant with the Cat5e standard. The cable uses F/UTP (foil screened, unshielded twisted pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and support reliable high-speed data transmission in small network installations. Its grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office and home environments.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding improves resistance to external interference compared with unshielded variants, while the Cat5e specification ensures compatibility with Ethernet networks up to 1 Gbps under typical conditions. The 26 AWG conductors balance flexibility and signal integrity, and the standardized TIA/EIA-568-B wiring ensures straightforward connectivity with RJ-45 ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Short patch connections in structured cabling installations
• Ethernet connections up to Cat5e performance (up to 1 Gbps typical)

Key specifications

• Length: 1 m
• Cable type: Shielded twisted pair (F/UTP)
• Conductor size: 26 AWG
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (TIA/EIA-568-B)
• Standard: Cat5e
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert an RJ-45 connector into the network port of each device until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are fully seated and routed to avoid sharp bends or kinks; maintain gentle bend radii to preserve signal quality. For permanent structured cabling, use appropriate patch panels or keystone jacks wired to the TIA/EIA-568-B scheme.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power lines or large electrical equipment; where interference is present, choose shielded paths or separate routing. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs are compromised.
