Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75210-100HSSP 100m Cat5e F/UTP Grey

The ShiverPeaks BS75210-100HSSP 100m Cat5e F/UTP Grey is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling in homes and offices. This Cat5e cable delivers reliable data transmission for typical network applications, using an overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs to reduce external electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility. The neutral grey jacket supports discreet installation in professional or residential environments and the 100 m spool provides continuous runs for wiring closets, workstations, or intermediate patching points.

Advantages

This F/UTP Cat5e cable balances signal protection and ease of installation: the overall foil shield lowers susceptibility to EMI and crosstalk without the complexity of individually shielded pairs. The cable supports up to Cat5e performance for Ethernet, voice and low-voltage data systems, and its flexible jacket simplifies routing through conduit, cable trays or raceways. The 100 m length reduces the need for frequent joins, and the grey outer sheath offers a neutral aesthetic suitable for visible runs.

Suitable for

• Ethernet local area networks (10/100/1000BASE-T where supported by the installation)
• Office and home networking installations
• Patch panels, wall outlets and structured cabling backbones
• VoIP phones and basic data links for devices and servers

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e performance level
• Shielding type: F/UTP (overall foil shield, unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 100 meters on a single spool
• Jacket color: grey
• Conductor: twisted pair copper conductors suitable for Ethernet signal transmission
• Intended use: indoor structured cabling and patching applications

How to use

Plan the cable route to minimize sharp bends and sources of electromagnetic interference. Measure required runs and cut from the spool to length, allowing service loops where necessary. Strip the outer jacket carefully and terminate the twisted pairs using compatible RJ45 connectors or punch down onto 8P8C keystone jacks and patch panels following the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Test each terminated link with a cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity and performance before deployment.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid running this F/UTP cable parallel and in close proximity to mains power cables or large electrical equipment. Maintain bend radius recommendations from the manufacturer, use appropriate strain relief at terminations, and employ grounding on shielded infrastructure components if your installation includes shielded panels or connectors.
