InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e blue 0.25m

The InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e blue 0.25m is a short patch lead designed for connecting network components with RJ45 ports, including switches, routers, wall sockets, patch panels and network cards. It complies with the Cat.5e standard and supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gb/s) at frequencies up to 125 MHz. SF/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity in short-distance connections.

Advantages

This 0.25 m Cat.5e patch cable provides reliable, high-speed data transmission in confined spaces. SF/UTP construction offers improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables. The compact blue cable is easy to route and suitable for tidy patching in cabinets or behind equipment. It is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and common network hardware.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches and patch panels
• Connecting routers or network cards in rack or desk setups
• Patching in network cabinets and wall outlets where space is limited

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat.5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP
• Length: 0.25 m
• Colour: Blue
• Data rate: up to 1 Gb/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Frequency: up to 125 MHz

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of the source device and the other connector into the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid tight bends near the cable ends to preserve performance. Use the cable for short, indoor connections within network cabinets, racks or between closely placed devices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable length to the minimum required for the installation, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for extended distances, and route it with gentle bends to prevent strain on the shielding and conductors.
