Network Cable Digitus CAT 5e SF/UTP Patch Cord RJ45 5m Yellow

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 5e SF/UTP Patch Cord is a 5 m Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in home and office networks. The cable uses copper conductors and SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and the transparent blue RJ45 plug with metal shielding indicates Category 5e (100 MHz) compliance. The molded boot provides kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to prevent the latching lever from breaking.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications, ensuring channel-compliant performance up to 100 MHz including NEXT characteristics. The SF/UTP construction improves immunity to external noise while the copper conductor supports stable signal transmission. The transparent blue, metal-shielded connector enables quick identification of Category 5e cabling and the molded boot increases durability and connector protection.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office LANs
• Point-to-point device connections where Cat5e performance is sufficient

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place and that strain relief is seated to avoid excessive bending near the connector. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and high-interference sources; for reliable PoE use, confirm connected equipment supports PoE and that cable runs meet power and distance requirements.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight coils and sharp bends near the connector, keep the cable clear of mains power cables and high-frequency sources, and use within typical Cat5e channel length limits. Inspect the molded boot and latch protector before installation to ensure secure connections.
