InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e grey 5m

The InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e grey 5m is a Category 5e twisted-pair network cable designed for connecting network components with RJ45 interfaces, including switches, routers, wall sockets, patch panels and network cards. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbit/s) at a maximum frequency of 125 MHz and features SF/UTP shielding for reduced electromagnetic interference. The 5 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends provide flexible connectivity for home and office network setups.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction combines foil shielding with an overall braid to improve protection against crosstalk and external interference while maintaining the flexibility of a patch cable. Cat.5e specification ensures compatibility with 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and reliable data transfer at up to 1000 Mbit/s. Grey outer jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network cards
• Patch panels and wall-mounted Ethernet sockets
• Gigabit Ethernet connections (1 Gbit/s)
• Home and small office network installations

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router, network card) and the other RJ-45 connector to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure physical connection. For wall sockets or patch panels, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. Use the cable within typical indoor environmental conditions and replace if the connector latch or outer jacket shows signs of damage.
