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

The InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e yellow 0.25m is a short, shielded patch cable designed for connecting network components with RJ45 connectors such as switches, routers, sockets, patch panels and network cards. It uses SF/UTP (overall foil + braided shielding) construction and is suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gb/s) with a maximum frequency of 125 MHz. The 0.25 m length and yellow jacket make it suitable for neat, low-profile connections in crowded or space-limited installations.

Advantages

SF/UTP shielding provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable data transmission in environments with potential interference. The Cat.5e specification supports Gigabit speeds up to 1 Gb/s at 125 MHz. The short 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and cross-talk in patch panels or switch-to-switch connections, while the yellow colour helps with easy visual identification.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches and patch panels in racks
• Short links between routers, switches and network sockets
• Tidy cable runs in confined spaces such as server cabinets or desktop setups

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or network card) and the other RJ45 plug to the corresponding port. Ensure both devices are powered and configured correctly for the desired network speed. Use the short 0.25 m cable for direct connections where minimal slack is required; avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable run as short as needed and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Terminate and route cables neatly in racks or cabinets to minimise interference and facilitate maintenance.
