Lindy 48338 verkkokaapeli harmaa 3 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

The Lindy 48338 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 3 m grey patch cable designed for reliable copper Ethernet connections. Built to Cat5e standards and supporting 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, the cable provides stable data transmission for wired LAN environments. F/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, while RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable combines a standardized conductor layout with foil/unshielded-twisted-pair (F/UTP) construction to offer reduced crosstalk and improved immunity to external noise compared with unshielded cables. The 3 m length balances reach and tidy installation for patching between equipment in racks, desks or wall outlets. Grey jacketing provides a neutral appearance suitable for office and data centre environments. Durable RJ-45 connectors provide secure mating and a consistent electrical contact.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, printers and IP phones to a local area network
• Patching between switches, patch panels and routers in small racks
• Wired connections for VoIP, video streaming and general Ethernet traffic
• Home or office network setups where a 3 m cable length is required

Key specifications

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices until the connector clicks into place. Use the 3 m length to route between desktop equipment, patch panels and switches without excess slack; avoid sharp bends and kinks to preserve signal integrity. When installing in a rack or conduit, ensure the cable is not tightly compressed and maintain bend radii recommended for twisted-pair cables. Test the link with a network tester after installation to confirm proper connectivity and wiring.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as unshielded power lines or large transformers. Use the cable within typical indoor temperature ranges and avoid outdoor exposure. If longer runs or higher bandwidth (e.g., 10Gbps) are required, consider upgrading to a higher category cable.
