Patch cable RB-LAN CAT5e F/UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 3 m, green

RB-LAN CAT5e F/UTP patch cable, 3 m, with RJ-45 plugs on both ends, is designed for wired Ethernet connections in home and office networks. The cable uses shielded twisted-pair construction (F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity for Cat5e-class networks. It connects switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets and supports standard Ethernet speeds up to Gigabit Ethernet when used in compatible installations.

Advantages

The F/UTP (foil screened) design provides additional protection against external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to reduce crosstalk and preserve data transmission quality. Robust outer sheath and precisely fitted RJ-45 plugs with latch protection ensure reliable mechanical connection and easy handling. The cable is supplied in a 3 m length and is color-coded green for easy identification in patching environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in a structured cabling rack
• Linking routers to wall outlets or network sockets
• Patch connections between networking equipment in home or small office LANs
• Temporary or permanent Ethernet connections where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 5e (Cat5e)
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around all pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male, straight
• Length: 3 m
• Color: green
• Conductor material: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Pair sequence: wired to EIA/TIA 568B standard
• Suitable for Ethernet speeds up to 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks into place. Use the cable to connect network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or wall sockets. Ensure the connected equipment supports Cat5e and intended Ethernet speeds. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use the slimline strain relief to reduce strain at the connector. Label or note the green cable color in your patch documentation if required.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, install the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as heavy machinery, fluorescent lighting or large power cables. When used in shielded installations, ensure proper earthing of network equipment and cable shields. Replace the cable if connectors show visible damage or if data errors occur during normal operation.
