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

InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e yellow 3m is a 3-metre network cable compliant with Cat5e standards. The cable uses SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T(X)) with data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and a maximum frequency of 125 MHz. The yellow jacket helps identify and organize connections in patch panels, racks or workstations.

Advantages

SF/UTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping maintain signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic noise. Cat5e specification and RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard network equipment. The 3 m length offers flexibility for typical patching tasks while the yellow colour simplifies cable management and identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network sockets
• Patch panels and network cabinets
• Direct device-to-device connections (PCs, servers, network cards)
• Gigabit Ethernet links within offices and data closets

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to a network port on a switch, router, patch panel or device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the connected equipment. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locking tabs engage. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. For reliable performance, use suitable cable management in racks or underfloor channels.

Recommendations

For best results in environments with significant electromagnetic interference, verify that connected equipment and patch panels support shielded cabling and ensure proper grounding. Use the 3 m length for short patching runs and label both ends when installing multiple yellow cables to avoid confusion.
