Networking cable LOGON TCR55SS250I Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) 25 m Ivory RJ-45–RJ-45

LOGON TCR55SS250I Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) 25 m Ivory RJ-45–RJ-45 is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for Cat5e network connections. The cable features foil and braided shielding around the twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over a 25 metre run. Both ends are fitted with shielded RJ-45 male connectors and protective boots with strain relief to prevent kinking and connector damage during installation and regular use.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction combines foil and braid shielding for improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables, making it appropriate where EMI or crosstalk may affect network performance. The 26/7 AWG conductor specification and 100 Ohm impedance meet Cat5e electrical characteristics for reliable data transmission. The integrated boots provide strain relief to prolong connector life and help maintain consistent contact performance.

Suitable for

• Home Ethernet wiring where shielded cabling is preferred
• Small office network connections between switches, routers and workstations
• Structured cabling runs requiring Cat5e performance over 25 m

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (S-FTP) — overall braid plus foil around pairs
• Conductor: 4 x 2, 26 AWG stranded (26/7)
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Connector type: RJ-45 male — shielded on both ends
• Length: 25 m
• Outer colour: Ivory
• Boot: Kink protection and strain relief
• Performance: Meets Cat5e transmission requirements

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 male end to a network device such as a switch, router or wall outlet and the other end to the corresponding device or patch panel. Ensure shielded connectors are properly mated with shielded ports or grounded patch panels when using the cable in environments where shielding is required for optimal EMI protection. Avoid tight bends and do not exceed the recommended bend radius; route the cable away from high-power electrical sources to minimize interference.

Recommendations

For best performance, use with shielded network equipment or ensure proper grounding of the cable shield. When installing fixed cabling, maintain recommended separation from power lines and follow bend radius and pulling tension limits to prevent damage. Test the installed link with a Cat5e-compatible tester to verify continuity and performance.
