Networking Cable Helos CAT5e SF/UTP 0.25m Blue

The Helos CAT5e SF/UTP 0.25m Blue networking cable is a short patch cable designed for connecting network devices within close proximity. It uses CAT5e specification wiring with SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over the short run. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network interface ports. The compact 0.25 m length and blue jacket make it suitable for tidy cable routing in home and office network layouts.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction combines an overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs to provide improved protection against external EMI while keeping cable flexibility. The CAT5e specification supports reliable high-speed data transmission for typical Ethernet applications. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure plug-and-play connectivity and consistent contact quality. The short 0.25 m length reduces excess cable clutter and can improve airflow and organization in dense patching areas.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network ports in racks or desktop equipment
• Connecting switches to patch panels in small network closets
• Linking routers, modems or desktops where minimal cable length is required
• Situations where EMI reduction is beneficial, such as near power supplies or bundled cables

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5e
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (overall foil with unshielded pairs)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to establish a secure connection. Use the cable for short connections between devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and network interfaces. Route the cable alongside existing cable runs or through cable management channels to keep installations tidy. Avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and do not pull the cable forcefully to prevent damage to the internal conductors or the connector latch.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this 0.25 m cable for short, direct links and in environments where EMI shielding will help maintain signal integrity. Do not exceed recommended bend radii and keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines for optimal reliability.
