Network patch cable INTER-TECH CAT5e FTP, 15 m, gray

Shielded FTP network patch cable INTER-TECH CAT5e, 15 m, gray provides a reliable physical connection for Ethernet networks requiring CAT5e performance. The cable uses a foil shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve signal integrity over a 15 meter run. It is intended for structured cabling in home and office environments and is compatible with devices such as computers, switches and routers that use RJ45 connectors.

Advantages

The shielded FTP design lowers susceptibility to external noise sources, improving stability in electrically noisy environments. A 15 m length offers extended reach for intermediate connections without the need for additional couplers. The CAT5e specification supports common network speeds and ensures backward compatibility with older Ethernet equipment. The gray outer jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for visible installation areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to network switches or routers
• Wiring network devices in small office or home LANs
• Structured cabling runs where moderate length and shielding are required
• Temporary or permanent patching in network cabinets and wall outlets

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5e FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Length: 15 m
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors
• Shielding: overall foil shield to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Connector type: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Jacket color: gray
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission and LAN patching

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your computer, switch or router and plug the other connector into the corresponding port of the destination device or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure electrical and mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; secure it with cable ties or clips where necessary. For installations requiring permanent routing inside walls, verify local building codes and use appropriate in-wall rated cabling if required.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power lines or large electrical equipment. Maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter and keep connections dry. Use the cable within typical CAT5e distance limits for specific data rates, and replace the cable if connectors or the jacket become damaged.
