Network Cable Digitus CAT 5e SF/UTP Patch Cord RJ-45 Cat5e 10m Red

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network. The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 5e SF/UTP Patch Cord RJ-45 Cat5e 10m Red (MPN: DK-1531-100/R, EAN: 4016032214038) is a 10 m Cat5e patch cable with SF/UTP shielding, copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors. It is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications and supports data transmission up to 100 MHz, including tested parameters such as near end cross talk (NEXT).

Advantages

The cable features a transparent blue-coloured plug with metal shielding for quick identification of Category 5e, PoE readiness, molded boots with kink protection and strain relief, and a latch protection that prevents the locking tab from breaking. SF/UTP shielding improves immunity to electromagnetic interference while copper conductors ensure reliable signal transmission. The red outer jacket provides clear visual identification in installations.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and data rooms
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and workstations
• Gigabit Ethernet applications up to 100 MHz (10/100/1000Base-T(X))

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports (switch, router, patch panel or NIC) until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and tight kinks; use the molded boot and the kink protection to maintain connector integrity. Ensure both ends are fully inserted to secure signal continuity and, if used in a PoE setup, verify connected devices support the required PoE class.

Recommendations

For best performance, install the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong sources of electromagnetic interference. Use appropriate cable management (cable ties, trays or patch panels) to prevent strain on connectors and to maintain airflow in equipment racks.
