Lindy 48390 Netwerkkabel grijs 0,5 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Lindy 48390 networking cable is a 0.5 m grey patch cable built to Cat5e standards with F/UTP shielding. F/UTP construction provides a foil screen around the twisted pairs to help reduce electromagnetic interference, while RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure straightforward connection to network devices. The compact half-metre length is suitable for short links between nearby equipment and helps maintain a tidy cable layout in home or office environments.

Advantages

The cable's Cat5e specification supports standard Ethernet speeds for typical LAN use and offers reliable data transmission for everyday networking tasks. F/UTP shielding improves resistance to external interference compared with unshielded cables, which is useful in environments with electronic noise. The moulded RJ-45 plugs provide secure, tool-free connection and the short 0.5 m length minimises excess cable, reducing clutter and potential signal degradation from unnecessary cable runs.

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil screened twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your device and the other to the corresponding port on a switch, router or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m length for short runs where devices are positioned close to each other; avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and do not place heavy objects on the cable to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable run as short as required, route it away from mains power cables and large sources of electromagnetic interference, and use it within typical indoor temperature and humidity conditions. When connecting in rack or dense cabling areas, label each end if necessary to simplify maintenance.
