Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75120-W 10m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75120-W 10m Cat5e F/UTP networking cable is designed for wired Ethernet connections where consistent data transfer and reduced interference are required. This white cable conforms to the Cat5e standard, incorporates F/UTP shielding to limit electromagnetic interference, and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is intended for use in home, office or small network installations where a reliable copper connection is preferred.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding provides an additional foil layer around the twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. The 10 metre length offers flexibility for linking devices across rooms or connecting network equipment within racks and desks. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with switches, routers, hubs and network interface cards. The cable’s Cat5e specification supports Gigabit Ethernet performance while remaining compatible with Fast Ethernet and legacy network speeds.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and printers to network switches or routers
• Linking network devices in home or small office environments
• Temporary or permanent wiring between network equipment within server cabinets or under desks
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around twisted pairs, unshielded overall)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 10 metres
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Color: white

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your computer, switch or router and the other end into the corresponding port of the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, heavy compression or proximity to high-voltage power lines to maintain signal quality. For fixed installations, secure the cable with cable ties or clips, leaving some slack to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its 10 m length without excessive bending near the connectors. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power cables to reduce interference. If connecting devices at greater distances or in electrically noisy industrial environments, consider higher-category shielded cabling (Cat6 or above) or fiber optic solutions.
