InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e Blue 1m

The InLine Patch Cable F/UTP Cat.5e blue 1m is a 1-metre network cable engineered for stable wired connectivity in home and office environments. It uses Category 5e specifications to support common Ethernet speeds and incorporates F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference from neighboring cables and devices. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors for direct connection to switches, routers, patch panels, network interface cards and other compatible equipment. The blue jacket provides visual identification in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually unshielded twisted pairs to provide improved protection against external noise while maintaining flexibility and ease of termination. The Cat.5e specification ensures support for typical Ethernet applications, including Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet at shorter runs. A 1 m length makes the cable suitable for patching between adjacent devices in racks or desktop setups without excess slack. Standard RJ-45 terminations allow plug-and-play installation with common network hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in small office or home networks
• Patching between patch panels and network equipment in racks
• Short horizontal connections between wall outlets and desktop devices
• Environments where reduced interference is desirable, such as near power lines or dense cable bundles

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil shield, unshielded pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device and the other connector into the Ethernet port of the destination device until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated and that ports are powered on; most devices will negotiate the appropriate link speed automatically. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, and keep it separated from high-voltage power lines where possible to preserve shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid bending the cable at angles smaller than its minimum bend radius, do not exceed the 1 m run for applications requiring specific channel lengths, and verify link speed in device network settings after installation. Use cable management to prevent strain on connectors and maintain clear separation from sources of interference.
