Network patch cable DELOCK RJ45 Cat.6 F/UTP 1 m with integrated switch (BUBU)

The DELOCK RJ45 Cat.6 F/UTP 1 m patch cable with BU-to-BU connectors and an integrated inline switch is a shielded network cable designed for short-distance Ethernet connections up to Category 6 performance. The cable combines a fully shielded foil (F/UTP) construction with a compact manual inline switch that allows users to connect or disconnect the link without removing connectors. It is intended for point-to-point patching, device linking and temporary testing where a reliable shielded connection and quick manual control are required.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP design reduces electromagnetic interference and improves signal integrity in environments with potential cable noise. The integrated inline switch provides manual on/off control for the connection, enabling convenient testing, interruption of network traffic or simple device isolation without unplugging. The BU-to-BU RJ45 connectors ensure a consistent, gender-compatible interface for easy insertion into network ports. The one-metre length offers tidy routing for short runs and minimizes excess cable in racks or workstations.

Suitable for

• Short patching between network outlets, switches and devices in office or lab environments
• Temporary testing and troubleshooting of network links and equipment
• Device linking where manual control of connection is required without unplugging
• Shielded installations requiring Cat.6 performance over short distances

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6 performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around all pairs) for EMI protection
• Connectors: BU-to-BU RJ45 male connectors compatible with standard ports
• Length: 1 metre for short patching and tidy cable management
• Inline feature: integrated manual switch for connecting/disconnecting the link

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the appropriate network ports on the devices to be linked. Use the inline switch to enable or disable the connection as needed during testing, maintenance or temporary isolation of a device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and the shielded connectors make contact with the device port’s grounding before relying on the shield for EMI protection. Avoid excessive bending at connector ends and route the cable to prevent strain.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short runs within racks, test benches or workstations where manual on/off control is needed; avoid using the inline switch as a substitute for regular connector insertion/removal under load. For installations requiring continuous long-term connections or outdoor use, choose a cable and connector type specified for those conditions.
