Network Cable Digitus CAT 5e SF/UTP Patch Cord Black 5m

The DIGITUS Category 5e SF/UTP patch cord is a 5 m network cable designed for reliable data transmission and compliance with Category 5e (100 MHz) standards. The cable uses copper conductors and SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. A transparent blue connector with metal shielding identifies the Category 5e rating while a black cable jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for professional and home network installations.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications, this DIGITUS patch cord supports channel performance up to 100 MHz, including near-end crosstalk (NEXT) characteristics. The cable is PoE ready and features a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protection to prevent breaking of the latching lever. The SF/UTP construction provides additional shielding against interference compared with unshielded variants.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and home networks
• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat 5e compliance
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on your networking devices until the latch clicks into place. Route the 5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use the molded boot with kink protection to reduce strain at the connector. Ensure both ends are fully seated to maintain optimal signal quality and compliance with Category 5e channel requirements.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or near strong electromagnetic sources. Use appropriate cable management and keep connector latches protected during handling to prolong service life.
