Microconnect STP525 networking cable Grey 25 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP)

Microconnect STP525 Grey Cat5e 25m is a 25 metre shielded Cat5e (F/UTP) networking cable designed for reliable wired connections between network devices such as switches, modems, routers, patch panels and wall outlets. The cable supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz and is backwards compatible with Cat5, offering durable construction and latch-protected RJ45 connectors to reduce connector damage during installation.

Advantages

The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and helps prevent crosstalk, which preserves data integrity and reduces transmission errors. Latch protection on the connectors prevents damage when pulling the cable through tight installation spaces. The 25 m length and grey jacket make the cable suitable for both home and small office networks while maintaining Cat5e standard performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and modems to patch panels or wall outlets
• Home and small office wired Ethernet installations
• LAN connections where EMI reduction is required

Key specifications

• Length: 25 m
• Standard: Cat5e (tested up to 100 MHz)
• Shielding: F/UTP (shielded twisted pair)
• Connector: RJ45 with latch protection
• Colour: Grey
• Brand/Model: MicroConnect STP525

How to use

Route the cable between networking devices or from a device to the infrastructure (patch panel, keystone jack or wall outlet). Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Avoid excessive bending or sharp folds and maintain appropriate bending radius during installation to preserve signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this shielded Cat5e cable in environments with potential electromagnetic interference and pair it with compatible shielded connectors and grounded patch panels when possible. Test connections after installation to confirm link speed and stability.
