Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75113-S Black 3m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75113-S is a 3 m Cat5e F/UTP networking cable designed for stable wired connections in home and office environments. The cable features foil-shielded twisted pairs (F/UTP) and standard RJ-45 plugs on both ends, supporting data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s. Its black outer jacket provides a neutral appearance and basic mechanical protection while maintaining flexibility for routing through cable channels and behind furniture.

Advantages

The F/UTP design reduces electromagnetic interference from external sources, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment. Cat5e performance ensures compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks up to 1000 Mbit/s over short distances. The use of standard RJ-45 connectors provides plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, modems and network interface cards. The 3 m length offers a balance between reach and tidy cable management for common desktop and rack setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs and laptops to routers, switches or wall ports
• Linking networked printers, NAS devices and IP cameras
• Short to medium-length runs in home and small office networks
• Temporary or permanent wired connections where F/UTP shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil around all pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Black
• Suitable for Ethernet standards: Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (where supported)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (router, switch or wall jack) and the other connector into your computer, NAS or other networked device. Ensure connectors click into place and test the connection status on the devices to confirm link and negotiated speed. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; if routing through metal conduits, verify that shielding continuity is maintained where required for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit connections, use this Cat5e F/UTP cable for short to medium runs up to typical guaranteed distances for Ethernet; for longer distances or environments with severe interference, consider higher-category cables or additional shielding. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and avoid excessive bending or pulling to preserve cable integrity.
