Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75115-R Red 5m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75115-R Red 5m Cat5e F/UTP networking cable is a shielded patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home, office and small data environments. It measures five meters in length, uses Cat5e wiring to support Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet at appropriate distances, and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The F/UTP construction features an overall foil shield around all pairs to reduce external electromagnetic interference, while the red jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling runs.

Advantages

This Cat5e F/UTP cable combines EMI protection from the foil shielding with the compatibility of RJ-45 terminations, enabling stable data transfer up to 1000 Mbit/s under typical operating conditions. The 5 m length balances reach and signal integrity for desk-to-switch or patch panel connections. The colored outer jacket simplifies cable management and quick identification of network segments without compromising mechanical flexibility.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers and access points within offices and homes
• Patch panel and rack-mounted network setups where shielded cabling is required
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where foil shielding is beneficial
• Colour-coded structured cabling and identification of network runs

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat5e, F/UTP (overall foil shielding)
• Length: 5 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate distances)
• Outer jacket colour: red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the network switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve a secure electrical and mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sources of severe mechanical stress; maintain gentle curves and use cable ties or organisers to keep runs neat. For shielded installations, verify that the connected hardware or patch panels support shielding and that grounding is implemented if required.

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat5e cable for short to medium-length horizontal runs where EMI reduction is needed. Avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum to preserve performance. Confirm compatibility with your network equipment when relying on shielded connections and implement proper grounding in shielded installations.
