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

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 5e SF/UTP RJ-45, 2 m, red is a Category 5e patch cord designed for reliable Ethernet connections. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends, SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and a transparent blue coloured plug with metal shielding for quick identification of Category 5e (100 MHz) performance. The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications to ensure compliance with ISO & EN channel requirements.

Advantages

This CAT 5e SF/UTP patch cord provides tested performance up to 100 MHz, including near end crosstalk (NEXT) characteristics. The molded boots include kink protection, strain relief and an integrated latch protection that helps prevent breakage of the latching lever. The SF/UTP shielding improves signal integrity in environments with potential interference while the red cable colour allows easy visual identification within a cabling installation.

Suitable for

• Office Ethernet connections (100BASE-TX and similar)
• Patch panels and switches in structured cabling
• Situations requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Short runs between devices (2 m length)

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, switches or patch panels. Ensure plugs are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; use the molded boot with kink protection to maintain connector integrity. For optimal performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible despite SF/UTP shielding.

Recommendations

Use this 2 m DIGITUS CAT 5e SF/UTP cable for short, shielded Ethernet connections in office or data-room environments. Verify connector seating and avoid overstressing the cable or latch to maintain long-term performance.
