InLine B-72505S networking cable Black 5 m Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP)

The InLine B-72505S 5m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable is designed for wired Ethernet connections that require reliable signal transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference. This 5-meter black cable uses Cat5e specification wiring and SF/UTP shielding to maintain signal integrity for typical 10/100/1000Base-T(X) network environments. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is intended for standard structured cabling and device-to-device links where a moderate cable length is needed.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding construction combines an overall braid with internal unshielded twisted pairs, helping to limit external interference while preserving the flexibility and ease of handling of the cable. With RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a 5 m length, the cable provides a straightforward solution for connecting switches, routers, PCs and other networked equipment across short to medium distances. Its black outer jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for office or home installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to switches or routers within home and small office networks
• Wiring between network devices in server rooms, wiring closets or office desks
• Replacing or extending existing Ethernet connections where Cat5e performance is sufficient

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall braid with UTP pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Supported speeds: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Compatible cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Ensure network devices are powered off or follow hot-plug guidance from the device manufacturers. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; secure it with appropriate clips or cable management accessories as needed. After making connections, verify link lights on devices and perform a network test to confirm connectivity and expected transfer rates.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep separation from large motors or fluorescent lighting. Use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for installations up to its length where Gigabit speeds are required; for longer runs or future higher-speed requirements consider cables rated for higher categories.
