Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75126-Y 20m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75126-Y 20m Cat5e F/UTP networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling and device connections that require consistent Gigabit-capable performance. With RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a 20-metre length, this cable provides a visible, organised link in installations where cable identification and electromagnetic interference reduction are important. The bright yellow jacket helps locate and separate this cable from others in cabinets and cable trays.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielded design combines an overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs to reduce external electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility for routing and installation. Rated for Cat5e performance, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and is suitable for Ethernet networks, VoIP and common office connectivity. Its pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors enable quick deployment without additional termination tools, and the durable outer jacket resists abrasion during installation and handling.

Suitable for

• Office and home Ethernet connections up to Gigabit speeds
• Connecting switches, routers, network printers and workstations
• Environments where cable identification by colour is required
• Installations where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil shield, unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 20 metres
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s

How to use

Route the 20m Cat5e F/UTP cable between network devices, ensuring connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until they click. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; maintain bend radius recommended for Ethernet cabling to preserve signal quality. For installations where shielding continuity is required, ensure metal patch panels or connector housings provide proper grounding where applicable. Test the connection after installation with network diagnostic tools to confirm link speed and stability.

Recommendations

Use this cable for horizontal or patching links within equipment racks, wall outlets and desktop setups. Keep the jacket clean and route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic noise when possible. For permanent installations requiring higher bandwidth or PoE over longer runs, consider verifying power and thermal limits and, if necessary, evaluate higher-category shielded alternatives.
