Network Cable Digitus CAT 5e SF/UTP RJ-45 2m Grey

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 5e SF/UTP RJ-45 2m in grey is a Category 5e patch cord engineered to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 standards. The cable is designed and tested for performance up to 100 MHz and includes features such as molded boots with kink protection, strain relief and latch protection. The transparent blue coloured plug with metal shielding makes Category 5e connectors easy to identify while the SF/UTP construction provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference for stable data transmission.

Advantages

This CAT 5e SF/UTP patch cord is manufactured and certified to Category 5e (Class D) requirements and tested for parameters including near end crosstalk (NEXT) up to 100 MHz, ensuring compliance with ISO & EN channel specifications. The molded boot offers kink protection and strain relief, and the reinforced latch protection reduces the risk of connector damage. The metal-shielded, transparent blue plug allows quick visual identification of Category 5e cabling.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections in offices, server rooms and home networks
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference due to SF/UTP shielding

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, patch panel or network card) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure connectors click into place and that the molded boot and latch are not obstructed. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the kink protection and strain relief reduce stress on the connector but proper cable handling increases lifetime and maintains signal quality.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the SF/UTP cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain reasonable bend radius; choose shielded terminations on both ends when connecting to shielded components to preserve the effectiveness of the SF/UTP shielding.
