Networking cable LOGON TCR55SS050BL Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 5 m Black

LOGON TCR55SS050BL is a 5 m Cat5e network patch cable with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable is intended for typical Ethernet connections up to Cat5e performance and is suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network outlets in home and office environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance for visible installations and organised cabling runs.

Advantages

The S-FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually screened twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. RJ-45 straight male connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and easy plug-and-play installation. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-wall or equipment-to-switch connections without excess slack.

Suitable for

• LAN patching between switches, patch panels and devices
• Connecting routers, modems and network printers
• Home and small office wired Ethernet installations
• Environments requiring screened twisted-pair cabling to reduce interference

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil with individually foiled pairs - S-FTP)
• Connector type: RJ-45 straight male to RJ-45 straight male
• Colour: Black

How to use

Ensure both network devices are powered off or set to accept hot-plug connections. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise, keeping a gentle bend radius consistent with typical patch cable practice. For patch panels, terminate into the appropriate port; for direct device connections, plug into the device and the switch or router port.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short to medium runs within racks, desks and wall-mounted equipment. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for prolonged distances. If longer distances or higher data rates are required, consider upgrading to Cat6 or higher-rated shielded cables.
