Networking Cable ExertisConnect 857100 Blue 0.15m

The ExertisConnect 857100 Blue 0.15m is a short networking cable conforming to the Cat5e standard with F/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Designed for reliable data transmission over brief distances, this 0.15 meter blue patch cable is intended for neat connections between devices in compact environments such as home workstations, network switches or patch panels. The F/UTP shielding helps reduce external electromagnetic interference while the Cat5e specification supports common Ethernet speeds used in residential and small office networks.

Advantages

This Exertis Connect cable offers a compact form factor for situations where cable length should be minimized. The Cat5e standard provides compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks within typical short-run constraints. F/UTP shielding improves signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic noise. Standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation with routers, switches, network cards and patch panels. The blue jacket makes cable identification easier in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short patch connections between a switch and a patch panel or wall socket
• Connecting networked devices in a cramped workspace or equipment rack
• Temporary or permanent short links behind desks, monitors or AV equipment
• Cable runs where reduced slack and tidy cable management is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.15 m
• Standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil-shielded overall with unshielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure both connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Because the cable is only 0.15 m long, position devices close together or use it for connections within a rack or behind furniture. No additional configuration is required for standard Ethernet operation; routing and IP configuration remain managed by your network devices.

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat5e F/UTP cable for tidy, minimal-length patching where a longer cable would create clutter. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and do not subject the cable to heavy pulling or crushing forces. For longer runs or environments requiring higher bandwidth or enhanced shielding, consider cables with higher category ratings or different shielding types.
