Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75111-R Red 1m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75111-R Red 1m Cat5e F/UTP is a 1 metre networking cable designed for standard Ethernet connections requiring Cat5e performance. The cable uses F/UTP construction—an overall foil shield around unshielded twisted pairs—to reduce external electromagnetic interference while keeping the cable flexible and easy to route. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 plugs compatible with common network devices, switches and patch panels. The red jacket provides clear visual identification within patch bays and cabling runs.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding reduces susceptibility to nearby sources of interference, improving signal stability in environments with multiple electrical devices. Cat5e specification supports reliable data transmission for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit networks over typical short runs. A one-metre length is convenient for patching between adjacent ports without excess cable slack, and the coloured jacket simplifies cable management and identification in structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Patching between closely spaced ports in network racks and switch panels
• Connecting desktop PCs, VoIP phones or networked peripherals to nearby switches
• Temporary or permanent horizontal connections in office or home networks where identification is important

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance level for Ethernet connectivity
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil shield, twisted pairs unshielded)
• Length: 1 metre
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Jacket colour: Red for visual identification

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your network devices until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 1 m length to connect adjacent ports on switches or patch panels and avoid excess bending or sharp kinks. Route the cable to prevent tight bends and keep it away from heavy power cables where possible to maintain signal integrity. If using in a rack, label both ends if needed and place the cable in the appropriate patching position.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat5e F/UTP cable for short patch connections within racks or between nearby devices. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances; if proximity to electrical equipment is unavoidable, ensure proper separation or additional shielding. Inspect RJ-45 terminations periodically to confirm secure seating and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
