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

The InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e yellow 5m is a 5-metre network cable designed for connecting devices with RJ45 ports, such as switches, routers, sockets, patch panels and network cards. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gb/s) at a maximum frequency of 125 MHz and uses SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The yellow jacket provides easy visual identification in wiring setups.

Advantages

SF/UTP construction offers improved protection against external interference compared to unshielded cables while maintaining flexibility for typical installation scenarios. The Cat.5e specification supports gigabit connections up to 1 Gb/s and operation at frequencies up to 125 MHz. A 5 m length covers common patching distances in racks and workstations, and the yellow colour aids cable management and fault tracing.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, routers and network cards within racks or office environments
• Patching between wall sockets and desktop devices
• Short to medium-length Gigabit Ethernet links up to 5 m
• Environments where cable identification and reduced interference are needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: SF/UTP Cat.5e twisted pair network cable
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Yellow
• Connector: RJ45 (both ends)
• Rated speed: up to 1 Gb/s
• Maximum frequency: 125 MHz

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or network card and the other plug to the corresponding device or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.5e SF/UTP cable for links up to 5 m and avoid excessive bending or tight cable ties. If your installation requires higher bandwidth or future-proofing beyond 1 Gb/s, consider Cat.6 or higher-rated cables.
