Networking Cable DeLOCK 85855 0.5m Cat5e SF/UTP

The DeLOCK 85855 0.5m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in compact setups. It complies with Category 5e performance requirements and uses SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in grey, the cable is suitable for linking routers, switches, network adapters and other Ethernet-enabled devices where a concise, shielded connection is needed.

Advantages

This Cat5e SF/UTP cable provides stable data transmission at typical Cat5e speeds while the combined foil and braided shielding improves resistance to external noise sources. The 0.5 m length minimises excess cable clutter and supports tidy installations in patch panels, desktop environments and rack-mounted equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent contact quality and reduced oxidation over time.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between network devices (router to switch, switch to PC)
• Patch panel and rack patching in small server closets
• Desktop workstations and home networking where space is limited
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to mitigate EMI

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (S-FTP) — braided shield with overall foil
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable to connect networking equipment such as switches, routers, network interface cards or patch panels. For best performance, avoid tight bends near the connector and do not subject the cable to sharp kinks or crushing forces. Route the cable following existing cable management paths to minimise electromagnetic interference and mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, keep the cable run as short as necessary and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. If connecting in a noisy electromagnetic environment, ensure that both ends are properly grounded through the connected equipment to take full advantage of the SF/UTP shielding.
