Ethernet patch cable InLine B-72500, 10 m, SF/UTP Cat.5e

InLine B-72500 is a 10 m Ethernet patch cable designed to connect network devices such as routers, switches and PCs while meeting the Cat.5e standard. The SF/UTP construction combines an overall braided shield with individual foil shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making it suitable for typical 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps LAN environments in home and office installations.

Advantages

The SF/UTP Cat.5e design provides enhanced protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment or cable bundles. At 10 metres, the cable offers sufficient reach for many desktop and closet-to-rack connections while remaining flexible for easy routing. Standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of Ethernet ports and devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and networked printers to switches or routers
• Patch connections in small server closets, office networks and home LANs
• Areas with moderate electromagnetic interference where additional shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Cable category: Cat.5e (suitable for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet within Cat.5e limits)
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (braided overall shield plus foil for individual pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Conductor: twisted pairs (4 pairs)
• Use environment: indoor LAN installations (office, home)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or network device and insert the other connector into the destination device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields; if connecting through metal conduits or cable trays, verify that connectors and shields are compatible with your installation practices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep total cable runs within industry-recommended lengths for Cat.5e and avoid excessive tension or tight bends. Use the SF/UTP cable in environments where additional shielding improves stability; ensure that patch panels and switches support shielded cables and that grounding practices are observed when using shielded cabling.
