Networking Cable COS Cable Desk 72500S Black 10m Cat5e SF/UTP

The COS Cable Desk 72500S Black 10m Cat5e SF/UTP is a 10-metre network patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It meets Cat5e performance parameters and uses SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, providing stable data transmission between devices equipped with RJ-45 ports. The cable’s black jacket and flexible construction suit both visible installations and concealed routing in home or office environments.

Advantages

SF/UTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with an additional braided screen to limit external interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity over the cable length. The Cat5e specification supports common Ethernet speeds and offers compatibility with a wide range of network equipment. RJ-45 terminations on both ends ensure straightforward plug-and-play connection without additional tools. The 10 m length provides extended reach for desktop setups, wall outlets, or patch panels while maintaining a compact, easy-to-manage form factor.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops, printers or network devices to routers, switches or wall outlets
• Office desktop and open-plan workspace cabling
• Home network installations requiring a reliable wired link
• Patch panel connections in small server rooms or communication cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil with braid)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — male on both ends
• Colour: Black
• Weight: 0.259 kg

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and route it between the source device and the network port. Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet jack until it clicks into place. For best results, avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or fluorescent ballasts. If used in a fixed installation, secure the cable with soft ties or cable clips without compressing the jacket.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within standard Cat5e distance limits and combine it with properly grounded network equipment to benefit from the SF/UTP shielding. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for long distances to reduce potential interference.
