Networking cable RB-LAN Cat5e F/UTP (FTP) 1.5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, yellow

RB-LAN Cat5e F/UTP (FTP) 1.5 m networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts is designed for shielded Ethernet connections in home and office environments. The foil-shielded F/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable data transfer at speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. The 1.5 m length and slim overmoulded strain relief make the cable suitable for patching between devices, switches, routers and patch panels where Cat5e performance with additional shielding is required.

Advantages

The shielded design provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain consistent throughput in environments with electrical noise. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable contact resistance and corrosion resistance for longer connector life. The prewired RJ-45 plugs with latch protection and slimline strain relief deliver a secure fit and reduced mechanical stress at the connector ends. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and follows the EIA/TIA 568B pair sequence for compatibility with standard network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within home or small office networks
• Patching between patch panels and network devices in shielded cabling runs
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where foil shielding is beneficial
• Short-distance connections requiring a visible-colour cable for identification

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the port of the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the visible yellow colour to route and identify the cable among other network lines. For optimal performance, avoid excessive bending near the connectors and keep the cable run within reasonable length for the intended network setup.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat5e F/UTP cable in short to medium-length runs where foil shielding helps reduce interference. Avoid running the cable in parallel with mains power lines for long distances and prevent sharp bends or kinks. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if the strain relief or plugs become compromised.
