Network Cable Digitus CAT 5e SF/UTP RJ-45 3m Green

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 5e SF/UTP RJ-45, 3 m, combines Category 5e performance with SF/UTP shielding and a molded RJ-45 connector. The cable is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications and supports operation up to 100 MHz. The transparent blue colored plug with metal shielding allows easy identification of Category 5e, while the green jacket colour and 3 m length make it suitable for a variety of patching and connection tasks.

Advantages

Constructed with copper conductors and SF/UTP shielding, this Digitus CAT 5e patch cord offers PoE readiness and reduced electromagnetic interference. Each cable features a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to reduce the risk of connector damage during installation and use. Performance is tested for characteristics such as near-end crosstalk (NEXT) up to 100 MHz to ensure compliance with channel specifications.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Office and home networking where Category 5e performance is sufficient
• PoE devices such as IP phones and access points
• Environments requiring additional shielding against interference

Key specifications

• Standard: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173 Category 5e
• Frequency range: up to 100 MHz
• Cable length: 3 m
• Conductor: Copper (Cu)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (braid + foil around pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with metal-shielded transparent blue plug
• Colour: Green (cable), transparent blue connector
• PoE: Ready

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router, patch panel or computer) and the other end to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages; the molded boot and latch protector provide strain relief and reduce the risk of accidental disconnection or latch breakage. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tight loops to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best results, use this CAT 5e SF/UTP patch cord for short to medium-length connections within rack units or desktop setups. Keep the cable away from strong electrical noise sources and avoid excessive bending radii. If higher bandwidth or longer runs are required, consider upgrading to Category 6 or higher.
