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

The InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e red 3m is a 3-meter Category 5e twisted-pair network cable with RJ45 connectors, designed for connecting network components such as switches, routers, sockets, patch panels and network cards. The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gb/s) at up to 125 MHz and includes SF/UTP shielding to reduce external interference. Its red jacket provides easy visual identification in structured cabling setups.

Advantages

SF/UTP shielding improves resistance to electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain stable data transmission. The Cat.5e rating supports Gigabit speeds up to 1 Gb/s and operation to 125 MHz, meeting common networking requirements for home and office environments. A 3 m length offers flexibility for patching between nearby devices, and the red colour simplifies cable management and fault finding.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• Connecting network sockets to wall ports or network devices
• Short runs between network cards and local equipment in offices or homes

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat.5e (SF/UTP)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ45
• Maximum speed: 1 Gb/s
• Maximum frequency: 125 MHz
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, router, network card) and the other end to the target port (patch panel, wall socket or another device). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain optimal signal quality.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this Cat.5e SF/UTP cable for runs up to its 3 m length and avoid kinking or excessive tension. Where higher bandwidth or longer distances are required, consider upgrading to Cat.6 or fibre solutions.
