LOGON SSTP Cat5e networking cable, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 1.5 m, violet

LOGON SSTP Cat5e networking cable, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 1.5 m, violet is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to carry Cat5e-class signals between network devices. The cable features SSTP construction — each pair is wrapped in foil and the overall bundle is braided — to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable data transmission in home and office environments. Both ends terminate in shielded RJ-45 male connectors with molded boots that provide kink protection and strain relief.

Advantages

The SSTP shielding combines pair-level foil and an overall braided screen to improve resistance to crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded cables, making it suitable for installations near other electrical equipment. With Cat5e performance it supports common Ethernet speeds used in residential and small business networks. The molded boots and strain-relief design protect the connector area from bending stress and prolong cable life while the violet jacket makes the cable easy to identify in a rack or cable bundle.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and workstations to switches or routers
• Patching between networking equipment in a small office or home network
• Temporary or permanent links in structured cabling where interference reduction is needed
• Color-coded cable management and identification in racks or patch panels

Key specifications

• Length: 1.5 m
• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: SSTP (foil on pairs + braided overall shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male, shielded
• Jacket color: violet
• Boot: molded with kink protection and strain relief

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel until the connector latch clicks. Ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends or excessive tension, and avoid running it parallel and close to power cables to minimize potential interference. For best performance, use the cable for Cat5e-rated network segments and verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices if troubleshooting connectivity.

Recommendations

Use the violet LOGON SSTP Cat5e cable for short to medium runs where improved shielding is beneficial. Maintain bend radius specified by standard practice (typically no tighter than four times the cable diameter) and secure cable runs with appropriate clips or ties to avoid strain on connectors. If installing in an environment with strong electromagnetic sources, prefer shielded connectors and grounded patch panels to maximize shielding effectiveness.
