Networking cable LOGON SSTP Cat5e, RJ-45–RJ-45, 0.3 m, red

LOGON SSTP Cat5e networking cable, 0.3 m, with RJ-45 plugs on both ends is a shielded patch cable designed for short connections and visible identification in dense installations. The SSTP construction combines foil around each pair with an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and support reliable data transmission at Cat5e performance levels. The compact 0.3 m length makes this cable suitable for device-to-device links, patch panels and short runs where a durable, shielded connection is required.

Advantages

The cable’s SSTP design provides improved protection against crosstalk and external EMI compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby electronic equipment. Both ends are fitted with shielded RJ-45 male connectors with boots that include kink protection and strain relief for extended connector durability. The red jacket offers easy visual identification in patch bays, racks and laboratory setups.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and network devices
• Connections inside patch panels and distribution frames
• Device-to-device links in workstations and server racks
• Network testing and configuration where short, shielded cables are needed

Key specifications

• Length: 0.3 m
• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: SSTP (foil around pairs + braided overall shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 male — RJ-45 male, shielded
• Jacket colour: Red
• Connector features: boots with kink protection and strain relief

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plug on each end to the corresponding ports on networking equipment, ensuring the shielded connectors make contact with shielded ports or chassis ground where applicable. Use this 0.3 m cable for short, direct connections to avoid excess cable length and cable management issues. Avoid sharp bends near the connector boots and route the cable to minimize tension on the strain relief boots.

Recommendations

For best EMC performance, connect both connector shields to grounded metal ports or patch panels. Use the red jacket for easy identification of critical links and replace the cable if connector strain relief or the jacket is visibly damaged.
