Network patch cable DELOCK RJ45 Cat.6 F/UTP 0.3 m with integrated switch and boot, shielded

DELOCK RJ45 Cat.6 F/UTP patch cable, 0.3 m, combines a short shielded network link with an integrated on-cable switch and protective boot. The cable is manufactured to Cat.6 performance for reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections over short distances. Shielding around the twisted pairs reduces electromagnetic interference and maintains signal integrity in environments with potential EMI. The compact length and integrated switch make the cable suitable for direct device-to-device connections where a temporary or selectable link is needed.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP design improves resistance to external interference while preserving Cat.6 transmission characteristics for up to Gigabit speeds on short runs. The integrated on-cable switch allows quick enable/disable of the connection without unplugging, simplifying testing, maintenance and temporary link control. A protective boot reduces strain on the connector and helps prevent accidental disconnection in tight spaces or rack environments.

Suitable for

• Short Gigabit Ethernet links between network devices (servers, switches, patch panels)
• Temporary or test connections where on-cable switching is required
• Cabling in areas with potential electromagnetic interference
• Compact or rack-mounted installations needing a short, reliable patch cable

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 performance for high-speed Ethernet
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil overall shield with unshielded pairs)
• Length: 0.3 m (short patch cable)
• Connector: RJ45 on both ends with integrated on-cable switch
• Boot: integrated protective boot to reduce strain and accidental unplugging
• Application: suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and short-distance data links

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device and the other to the target port, ensuring connectors are fully seated. Use the on-cable switch to enable or disable the connection as required; the switch is designed for simple manual operation during setup, testing or temporary link control. The short 0.3 m length is intended for close-proximity connections such as between adjacent switch ports, between a device and patch panel, or in dense rack configurations.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and keep the foil shield intact. Use the cable in environments suited to Cat.6 performance and within short-run distances; for longer runs select appropriately rated cables. When installing in racks or tight spaces, verify that the protective boot provides sufficient strain relief and that the on-cable switch remains accessible for operation.
