Patch cord FTP cat5e 3M yellow 8595589816354 OEM

The Patch cord FTP cat5e 3M yellow is a shielded twisted-pair network cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances. With a 3 meter length and Category 5e performance, this yellow FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) patch cord is intended for structured cabling in home and office networks, connecting devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and NICs. The cable construction reduces electromagnetic interference compared to unshielded alternatives and provides consistent signal quality for Ethernet applications up to Gigabit speeds.

Advantages

This FTP Cat5e patch cord combines a flexible jacket with foil shielding to deliver stable performance in environments with moderate electrical noise. The 3 m length offers a practical reach for typical workstation and rack connections without excess slack. The yellow outer sheath provides clear visual identification in multi‑cable installations and facilitates organized cable management. The connector ends are compatible with standard RJ45 ports and maintain consistent contact for frequent plug/unplug cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch or switch to switch links within racks or cabinets
• Small office, home networking and lab environments requiring shielded cabling
• Temporary setups and testing where fast identification of the cable is helpful

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (Class D) performance for Ethernet networking
• Type: FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) with overall foil shielding
• Length: 3 meters
• Color: Yellow outer jacket for visual identification
• Connector: Standard RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Supported data rates: Suitable for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
• Conductor: Typically 4 twisted pairs (solid or stranded conductors depending on variant)

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 3 m length to connect devices across desks, between racks, or from wall outlets to equipment. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and compressive forces on the jacket and connectors. If used in shielded installations, ensure proper grounding of patch panels and equipment to maintain the effectiveness of the foil shielding.

Usage recommendations

For best results, route the cable away from strong electrical sources such as large motors or unshielded power cables. Label both ends if used in dense cabling environments and periodically inspect connectors for wear if the cord is frequently moved or reconnected.
