Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75111-0.5Y

The ShiverPeaks BS75111-0.5Y is a 0.5 m Cat5e networking cable with F/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for short patching and device interconnection, this compact yellow cable provides consistent data transmission in environments where clear cable identification and reduced electromagnetic interference are required. It supports typical Cat5e performance parameters for Ethernet networks and is suitable for linking switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices at short distances.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding reduces susceptibility to external electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity in mixed-cable bundles. The 0.5 m length minimises slack and clutter in dense installations or when connecting adjacent ports. RJ-45 terminations follow standard pinouts for broad compatibility with networking equipment. The yellow jacket offers high visibility for easier identification during installation or maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• Connecting desktop workstations, IP phones and network printers to nearby ports
• Neat cable routing in server cabinets, racks and wall-mounted panels
• Temporary test setups and lab environments requiring quick identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: Foiled shield with unshielded twisted pairs (F/UTP)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Suitable for Ethernet speeds commonly supported by Cat5e

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the device or switch port and the other connector into the corresponding port on the network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight kinks and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; the F/UTP shielding helps but proper routing improves long-term reliability. For multiple connections, use colour-coding to match network documentation and reduce troubleshooting time.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat5e cable for close-proximity connections where minimal cable length improves airflow and reduces clutter. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines; if longer runs or higher bandwidth are required, consider selecting a higher category cable.
