Networking cable LOGON TCR55SS250M Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) 25 m Magenta RJ-45–RJ-45

LOGON TCR55SS250M Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) 25 m Magenta RJ-45–RJ-45 is a 25-meter magenta patch cable designed for Ethernet networks up to Cat5e performance. The cable features foil and overall braid shielding (SF/UTP, also described as S-FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and comes terminated with RJ-45 male connectors at both ends. Constructed with four twisted pairs and 26 AWG stranded conductors, this cable is suitable for structured cabling, device-to-device connections and patching within home and office environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding combines individual foil around pairs with an overall braided shield to provide improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables. With 26/7 stranded conductors and kink-protecting boots with strain relief, the cable is flexible for routing in patch panels and between devices while reducing wear at the connector. Cat5e certification ensures compatibility with standard Ethernet speeds and 100 Ohm impedance suitable for typical networking equipment. The distinctive magenta jacket aids visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections up to Cat5e speeds in home and small office networks
• Patching between switches, routers, hubs and wall outlets
• Structured cabling where shielded cable routing is required to minimize interference
• Temporary or permanent device connections where a 25 m length is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router, computer or wall outlet) and the other end to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends; use the strain-relief boots to reduce stress at connector ends. For best performance, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong sources of electromagnetic interference. When terminating into panels or keystone jacks, follow standard wiring schemes and grounding practices appropriate for shielded cabling.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for installations where extra shielding is needed to maintain signal integrity. For longer runs beyond 25 m or higher bandwidth requirements, consider higher-category cables (Cat6/6a) and verify grounding of shielded cable at appropriate points in the installation.
