Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75126-R Red 20m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75126-R Red 20m Cat5e F/UTP networking cable is a 20-metre patch cable engineered for reliable wired Ethernet connections. Built to Cat5e standard with F/UTP (foil over each pair with overall braid) shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, enabling consistent data throughput. Equipped with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it supports network speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s and is suitable for home, office, and multimedia setups where a longer, visible connection is required.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat5e specification affords compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit networks while keeping latency and packet loss low. F/UTP shielding provides improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables, which helps maintain stable connections in environments with multiple electronic devices. The 20 m length allows flexible device placement, and the red jacket provides high visibility for easier identification in cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Wired Gigabit Ethernet connections for PCs, consoles, and smart devices
• Home and small office networks requiring a 20 m run
• Streaming and online gaming where stable bandwidth is needed
• Temporary or permanent installations where cable visibility is preferred

Key specifications

• Length: 20 metres
• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil over pairs with overall braid)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Colour: red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your router, switch, or modem and the other connector to the Ethernet port of your computer, gaming console, or networked device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain gentle curves and use cable clips or ties to secure the run where needed. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power cables.

Recommendations

For stable Gigabit performance, verify that both connected devices support 1000 Mbit/s and that network equipment is configured for full-duplex operation. In environments with high interference, consider using shielded network switches or grounding the shielded cable terminations where applicable. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show signs of wear.
