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

The ShiverPeaks BS75210-100SP Grey 100m Cat5e F/UTP networking cable is a 100-metre length of category 5e twisted-pair cable with foiled overall shielding (F/UTP). It is intended for structured cabling where reduced electromagnetic interference and reliable data transmission up to Cat5e performance are required. The grey outer jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for visible runs in offices, server rooms and domestic installations while the construction supports standard Ethernet applications.

Advantages

The cable’s F/UTP shielding reduces external electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple electrical devices. Cat5e specification ensures support for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate channel lengths. A 100 m spool length is convenient for complete runs without splicing, and the grey PVC jacket offers durability and easy visual integration into commercial and residential spaces.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet networks (10/100/1000BASE-T) within office and home environments
• Horizontal cabling between patch panels and wall outlets
• Server room and network closet installations where shielding is preferred
• Data transmission runs requiring protection from EMI and RFI sources

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding type: Foiled overall shielding (F/UTP)
• Length: 100 metres
• Outer jacket color: Grey
• Conductor type: Twisted pair copper conductors
• Intended use: Ethernet data cabling (structured cabling)

How to use

Measure the required run length and cut the cable from the spool using appropriate tooling. Strip the outer jacket and prepare individual twisted pairs according to the connector type or termination standard (T568A/T568B). Terminate with compatible RJ45 plugs or install into keystone jacks and patch panels, taking care to maintain pair twist as close to the termination point as possible. Route the cable avoiding sources of strong interference and secure it with clips or cable ties, ensuring bend radius recommendations are observed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, follow structured cabling best practices: use appropriate connectors and patch panels rated for Cat5e, keep cable runs under recommended maximum channel lengths for Gigabit operation, avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines, and observe bend radius limits. Test continuity and link performance after installation using a cable tester or network analyzer to verify correct termination and signal quality.
