InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e blue 0.5m

The InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e 0.5m Blue is a short Ethernet patch cable for connecting network components with RJ45 ports. Designed for Gigabit connections, it supports data transmission up to 1 Gb/s at frequencies up to 125 MHz and includes SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The 0.5 m length and blue jacket make it suitable for tidy, short-range links between switches, routers, sockets, patch panels and network cards.

Advantages

SF/UTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity in cluttered or electrically noisy installations. The Cat.5e specification supports Gigabit Ethernet performance at up to 125 MHz. The 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in dense patching areas, and the blue colour helps with visual cable identification.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels
• Linking routers or network sockets to nearby network devices
• Patch cabling in server cabinets and equipment racks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat.5e (SF/UTP)
• Data rate: up to 1 Gb/s
• Frequency: up to 125 MHz
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Blue
• Connectors: RJ45

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of the source device and the other connector into the destination device (switch, router, socket or network card). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m cable for short, direct connections to avoid excess slack and maintain tidy cable management. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors to preserve shielding and signal quality.

Recommendations

Use this SF/UTP Cat.5e patch cable in environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required; avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines to further minimize potential noise.
