LANBERG Cat5e F/UTP (FTP) patch cable 0.5 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, grey

LANBERG Cat5e F/UTP (FTP) patch cable 0.5 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, grey (PCF5-10CC-0050-S) is a shielded short patch cord designed for Ethernet connections up to 100 MHz. This 0.5 m cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a foil-shielded twisted pair (F/UTP) structure that reduces electromagnetic interference in office, studio and server-rack environments. The cable uses stranded AWG 26 conductors and PVC outer insulation for flexibility and durability in tight routing scenarios.

Advantages

The shielded design improves immunity to external noise and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, which helps maintain stable data transmission in electrically noisy environments. A compact 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter and simplifies patching between adjacent ports on switches, patch panels and routers. The PVC jacket and stranded conductor construction provide bend resilience for frequent handling, while compliance with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568B ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet installations.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent switch or patch panel ports in racks and wall mounts
• Short Ethernet links between routers, switches and network appliances
• Studio and office setups where EMI shielding is beneficial
• Server cabinets and dense networking closets requiring tidy cable runs

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding ports of your network devices until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m patch cable for short interconnections where minimal slack is required; avoid tight bends close to the connector to prevent stress on the stranded conductor. If shielding continuity is required, ensure the connected devices or patch panels provide proper grounding for the cable shield. Inspect connectors for secure seating and test the link after installation to confirm proper connectivity.

Usage recommendations

For best performance: avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines, maintain gentle bend radii, and connect shielded modules or panels that provide grounding to make use of the foil shield. Use短 runs like 0.5 m patch cords to reduce excess cable in racks and improve airflow and cable management.
