Networking cable METZ CONNECT 13084F0500-E 0.5m Cat5e S/UTP Black

The METZ CONNECT 13084F0500-E 0.5m Cat5e S/UTP networking cable is a short patch cable engineered for reliable Ethernet connections and high-speed data transfer up to 10000 Mbit/s. With S/UTP shielding and standard RJ-45 terminations, this black cable is intended for use in structured cabling, patch panels, network switches and devices where a compact, shielded connection is required. The cable’s construction supports consistent signal integrity in environments with moderate electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e performance with S/UTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external interference while maintaining flexibility for short-distance installations. Its 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter in dense patching areas and helps maintain organized rack and workstation setups. Standard RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of network equipment and simplify plug-and-play deployment.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, patch panels and servers in racks
• Workstation and desktop connections where a short, neat cable is required
• Network installations in offices, data closets and server rooms with moderate EMI concerns
• Temporary test setups and equipment bench testing

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance class suitable for fast Ethernet and gigabit links
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall shield with unshielded twisted pairs) for reduced external interference
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends for standard Ethernet interfaces
• Length: 0.5 m (short patch cable for rack and desktop use)
• Data rate capability: designed to support up to 10000 Mbit/s under appropriate conditions
• Color: black for unobtrusive appearance in installations

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers or NICs. For best results, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference. Use the 0.5 m length for short links inside racks or between closely spaced devices to keep cabling tidy.

Recommendations

Verify connector seating after installation and test link speed and integrity with appropriate network testing tools. In environments with stronger electromagnetic interference or where future higher bandwidths are required, consider using higher-category shielded cabling.
