Lindy 48381 netwerkkabel zwart 1 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Lindy 48381 RJ-45 Cat5e 1m networking cable is a 1 meter F/UTP (FTP) patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for structured cabling and device interconnection, this Cat5e cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and provides additional shielding to reduce external electromagnetic interference. Its compact length makes it suitable for short links between switches, routers, patch panels and end devices in home and office environments.

Advantages

The F/UTP construction combines individually insulated pairs with an overall foil shield to limit crosstalk and protect against external noise, improving signal stability in environments with nearby electrical equipment. RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports, and the Cat5e specification supports gigabit Ethernet performance where cable length and installation conditions are appropriate. The 1 m length reduces excess cable clutter and helps maintain tidy rack and desktop installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, printers and VoIP phones to switches or routers
• Short patch connections in data cabinets and wall outlets
• Home network setups where space and cable management are important
• Office workstations and meeting rooms requiring stable Ethernet links

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cable length: 1 m
• Supported standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: overall foil shield to reduce external interference

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the retaining clip engages. For mounted patch panels or wall plates, verify port labeling to maintain correct network mapping. When routing the cable, avoid tight bends and avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances to minimize potential interference.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat5e F/UTP cable for short links up to recommended Ethernet distances for Cat5e. In environments with high electromagnetic interference or where higher bandwidth or PoE power delivery is required, consider assessing whether shielded cabling with appropriate grounding or a higher category cable is more suitable.
