Patch cord FTP OEM 15805 RJ45 Cat5e 0.5M Yellow

The Patch cord FTP OEM 15805 RJ45 Cat5e 0.5M Yellow is a short, shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in compact installations. With FTP shielding and Cat5e performance, this 0.5 meter patch cord connects networking devices using standard RJ45 connectors and a yellow jacket for easy visual identification. It is intended for use where short, low-latency connections are required between switches, patch panels, and network endpoints in home or office environments.

Advantages

FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared to unshielded cables, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment. The Cat5e specification supports up to 1 Gbps Ethernet over short distances, while the molded RJ45 connectors provide secure, stable connections and strain relief. The compact 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter and is convenient for dense racks, patch panels, and desktop setups. The yellow sheath offers quick visual identification for organized cabling installations.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Patch cabling in server racks and data cabinets
• Desktop connections for computers, IP phones and VoIP equipment
• Home networks and small office LAN segments

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (FTP – Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, molded
• Shielding: Foil overall shield with individual pair arrangement
• Color: Yellow jacket for visual identification
• Supported speeds: up to 1 Gbps (typical for Cat5e over short runs)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network port of your switch, patch panel or network device and the other end to the corresponding port of the connected device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and excessive stretching of the cable and keep it away from high-power electrical lines that could introduce interference despite shielding. Use the short length to reduce slack and maintain tidy cabling in rack or desktop setups.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, route the patch cord in a manner that avoids sharp bends and mechanical stress. When used in dense patch panels or racks, label both ends if multiple identical yellow cables are present to simplify maintenance. FTP shielding improves immunity to external noise but does not replace proper grounding practices in environments where grounding of network equipment is required.
