Ethernet extension cable RB-LAN CAT5e F/UTP (FTP), RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, 1.5 m, black

RB-LAN CAT5e F/UTP (FTP) Ethernet extension cable, 1.5 m, with gold-plated RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. This shielded twisted-pair extension cable is designed to extend existing Cat5e patch cords or directly connect Ethernet devices in home and office networks. The foil shielding reduces electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables while the robust black PVC jacket and strain relief protect the cable from wear and mechanical stress. The cable supports typical Cat5e performance, enabling reliable data transmission for networks up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds in standard installations.

Advantages

The F/UTP (FTP) foil shield helps to limit external interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated RJ‑45 contacts and high-quality copper conductors provide stable electrical contact and low signal loss. Integrated strain relief and latch protection reduce the risk of connector damage and improve durability during frequent plugging and unplugging. The 1.5 m length offers a practical balance between reach and cable management in patching and device-to-device connections.

Suitable for

• Extending existing Cat5e patch cords in home or office networks
• Connecting computers, switches, routers and other Ethernet devices
• Environments where additional shielding is desirable to reduce interference
• Temporary or permanent patching where a short, robust extension is needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (FTP) — foil shield around all pairs
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1.5 m
• Cable jacket: black PVC with strain relief and bend protection
• Conductor material: copper
• Pinout: EIA/TIA 568B, 1:1 pairing

How to use

Insert the male RJ‑45 plug into the network port of the device or patch panel and insert the female RJ‑45 end into the existing patch cord or device cable. Ensure connectors click into place thanks to the latch protection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; use the built-in strain relief to protect the cable at the connector. For best performance, keep total cable run length within recommended Ethernet limits and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines.

Usage recommendations

For stable Gigabit connections, use this Cat5e extension within a properly terminated Cat5e or higher cabling system. In environments with significant electromagnetic interference, consider additional grounding or using shielded network components to maintain optimal shielding effectiveness.
