Networking Cable Black ShiverPeaks 75120-S Cat5e 10m

The ShiverPeaks 75120-S Cat5e networking cable is a 10 meter patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. The cable conforms to Cat5e performance parameters and features F/UTP shielding to reduce external electromagnetic interference. Each end is terminated with an RJ-45 connector for straightforward connection to routers, switches, network cards and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The black jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance suitable for home and office environments.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually unshielded twisted pairs to offer improved protection against noise while keeping flexibility and ease of installation. Cat5e performance supports fast Ethernet and gigabit networks at typical home and small office distances. The molded RJ-45 connectors ensure stable contacts and strain relief to minimize connector damage during insertion and removal. The 10 m length gives a balance between reach and cable management in typical room-to-room or desk-to-switch connections.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance class
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil shield)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 10 m
• Cable jacket color: Black
• Suitable for: Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet at typical patch lengths

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device and the other end to a router, switch or modem port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. If installing permanently, use appropriate cable clips or trunking to maintain neat routing and to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable length within recommended limits for Cat5e installations and avoid repeated tight bending near the connectors. Use the cable indoors and in dry environments; avoid exposure to direct sunlight and liquids. For environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider fully shielded cabling (S/FTP) or additional grounding measures if required.
