Networking cable LOGON TCR55SS200M Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) Magenta 20 m RJ-45–RJ-45

LOGON TCR55SS200M Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) Magenta 20 m RJ-45–RJ-45 is a 20-metre shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to meet Cat5e performance requirements. The cable uses four twisted pairs with 26/7 AWG conductors and an overall foil and braid shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Each end is terminated with a standard RJ-45 male connector and a flexible boot with kink protection and strain relief for secure, reliable connections in structured cabling, patch panels, office networks, and home installations.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction combines individual pair twisting with an overall foil and braided shield, providing improved protection against external noise and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. The 26/7 AWG stranded conductors offer good flexibility for routing in confined spaces and frequent handling. Boots with kink protection and strain relief reduce connector stress and extend service life. The magenta outer jacket makes the cable easy to identify in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Ethernet networks up to Cat5e speeds (100 Mbps/1 Gbps depending on network equipment)
• Patch panels, wall outlets and switch-to-switch links within racks
• Office and home network cabling where EMI protection is required
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring visible colour coding

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router or wall port) and the other end to the corresponding port on the second device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure contact. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radius consistent with the cable construction to preserve signal integrity. For shielded installations, terminate shields according to your equipment grounding practice to ensure effective EMI protection.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable in environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is needed; pair with properly grounded shielded patch panels and connectors for best shielding performance. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference. Regularly inspect boots and connectors in high-traffic areas for wear and replace the cable if the jacket or terminations are damaged.
