Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75210-100HSP 100m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75210-100HSP 100m Cat5e F/UTP networking cable is a shielded ethernet cable designed for structured cabling in homes, offices and light commercial environments. Meeting Cat5e performance criteria, the cable supports reliable data transmission for typical Fast Ethernet and many Gigabit LAN applications when installed according to best practices. The grey jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance suitable for visible runs and rack installations.

Advantages

The F/UTP construction combines a foil overall shield with individually untwisted pairs kept within a twisted-pair core to reduce external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. A 100 metre reel length allows for continuous runs without splicing in many installations, reducing potential points of failure. The cable conforms to Cat5e electrical characteristics, offering consistent impedance and predictable signalling for network devices, patch panels and switches.

Suitable for

• LAN installations in homes and small offices
• Patch and horizontal cabling between switches and wall outlets
• Wiring in server rooms and network cabinets where reduced interference is required
• Structured cabling projects that require Cat5e performance with shielding

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding type: F/UTP (overall foil shield with unshielded pairs)
• Length: 100 m
• Outer jacket colour: Grey
• Conductor type: Twisted pair copper conductors

How to use

Measure the required run and cut the cable from the reel, leaving service slack for terminations. Strip the outer jacket carefully to avoid nicking conductors, maintain pair twists as close to termination points as practical, and install using compatible RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks rated for Cat5e. Route the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as mains power lines and large motors; secure with appropriate cable ties and fixings. Test each link with a cable tester after termination to verify continuity, pair assignment and performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, follow installation standards for bend radius and separation from electrical cabling, use shielded patch cords or proper grounding if bonding the shield, and perform certification testing in critical installations to confirm Cat5e performance levels.
