Network patch cable InLine B-72502W — Cat.5e SF/UTP, 2 m, white

InLine B-72502W is a 2 m Cat.5e SF/UTP network patch cable in white designed for Ethernet connections where improved immunity to electromagnetic interference is required. The cable uses foiled screening around all four twisted pairs (SF/UTP) and supports Cat.5e performance levels suitable for 100BASE-TX and Gigabit Ethernet links within short runs. Its compact RJ45 connectors and flexible jacket make it suitable for structured cabling, patch panels, switches, routers and other network devices in home and office environments.

Advantages

The screened foiled/unshielded twisted pair (SF/UTP) construction helps reduce external electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference while maintaining the flexibility and ease of routing typical for patch leads. At 2 m length the cable provides a convenient reach between nearby racks, patch panels and desktop equipment. The white jacket offers a neutral appearance for visible installations and helps with colour-coded cable management. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common Ethernet hardware and straightforward installation without special tools.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in small office or home networks
• Short horizontal runs in structured cabling where screening is preferred
• Workstation to wall outlet or desktop device connections
• Temporary or permanent patching in server rooms and comms cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (screened foiled around twisted pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ45 plug on both ends
• Colour: white
• Supported Ethernet: up to Cat.5e (100BASE-TX, suitable for Gigabit over short distances)
• Application: patching between network devices and structured cabling

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device or patch panel port and the other end into the corresponding switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until a click is heard for reliable contact. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and keep it separated from power cables where possible to minimise interference. For neat installation use cable management accessories such as clips, cable ties or patch panel guides; avoid excessive tension on the connectors when securing the cable.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.5e SF/UTP patch cable for short to medium interconnections where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial. For longer runs or higher bandwidth requirements consider using higher-category cables (Cat6/Cat6a) or guided installation practices to meet specific performance goals.
