Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75112-S 2m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75112-S 2m Cat5e F/UTP networking cable is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections. Compliant with Cat5e specifications, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The F/UTP design provides a foil shield around the twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference, making the cable suitable for environments where improved signal integrity is required. The cable comes in black and is two metres in length, offering a balance between reach and tidy installation.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain consistent throughput. Cat5e specification ensures support for gigabit Ethernet speeds over short to moderate distances. RJ-45 terminations on both ends provide broad compatibility with network devices such as switches, routers, modems and network interface cards. The 2 m length is convenient for desktop setups, patch panels and short link runs where a neat, direct connection is needed.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small wiring closets
• Home and small office network cabling
• Routers, modems and network printers

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around twisted pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 male on both ends
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Colour: black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device (PC, switch, router or modem) and the other connector into the corresponding port of the network equipment. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For installations through cable ducts or behind furniture, measure the required run to maintain a tidy layout and prevent excessive tension on the connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable gigabit performance, keep total cable run lengths within recommended limits for Cat5e networks and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. In environments with high electromagnetic noise or where grounding is required, consider using fully shielded cable types and ensure proper termination and grounding practices.
