Networking cable LOGON TCR55SS150O Cat5e F/UTP (FTP) RJ-45–RJ-45 15 m Orange

LOGON TCR55SS150O Cat5e F/UTP (FTP) RJ-45–RJ-45 15 m Orange is a 15-metre foil-shielded patch cable designed for Ethernet connections up to Cat5e performance. The cable features a pair-wise twisted conductor structure and foil (F/UTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, with shielded RJ-45 connectors at both ends and integrated boots for kink protection and strain relief. It is intended for use in office or home networks, patch panels, switches and structured cabling installations where a shielded twisted-pair link is required.

Advantages

The foil shielding provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting more stable data transmission in environments with nearby electrical noise. Shielded RJ-45 connectors and a continuous drain path maintain the shielding integrity from end to end. The 15 m length covers longer runs between equipment without introducing additional couplers, while the moulded boots reduce connector stress and help prevent accidental cable damage. The cable is Cat5e-compliant and suitable for standard Ethernet use up to the Cat5e specification.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office networks
• Home network links where foil-shielded cabling is preferred
• Structured cabling runs requiring Cat5e F/UTP (FTP) performance
• Temporary or permanent patching between network devices up to 15 m

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your switch, router or network device and insert the other end into the corresponding port on the target device or patch panel. Ensure the connectors fully click into place and that the cable is routed without sharp bends or pinch points. For shielded installations, connect cable shields to properly grounded equipment or patch panels to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines for extended distances and use grounded shielded patch panels or connectors when integrating the cable into a shielded structured cabling system. Inspect connectors and strain relief boots periodically for wear and replace the cable if conductor damage or connector faults are observed.
