InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e purple 3m

InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e in purple, 3 m long, is a twisted-pair network cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for connecting switches, routers, sockets, patch panels and network cards. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbit/s) at a maximum frequency of 125 MHz and features SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The SF/UTP Cat.5e construction provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables. With standard RJ-45 connectors and 3 m length, the cable offers straightforward installation for typical home and office setups. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) signaling for compatibility with modern network equipment and is color-coded purple for easy identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers to patch panels or sockets
• Linking computers and network cards to local network ports
• Short to medium-length Gigabit Ethernet runs in homes and offices

• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (1 Gbit/s)
• Maximum frequency: 125 MHz
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Purple

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or wall socket and the other RJ-45 plug to the device you want to network, such as a computer or network card. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the retention clip engages. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel and close to mains power cables to minimise interference.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use the cable for runs within typical office or home distances (3 m here) and pair with compatible Cat.5e or higher infrastructure. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and avoid excessive tensile force. If the environment has high electromagnetic interference, consider fully shielded cabling solutions end-to-end.
