Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75210-50H Grey 50m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75210-50H Grey 50m Cat5e F/UTP is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling and point-to-point network links. Built to Cat5e performance, the cable supports typical LAN traffic and is equipped with F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference in environments with nearby power lines or electronic equipment. The neutral grey jacket and 50-meter length suit both permanent installations and temporary runs where extended reach is required.

Advantages

This Cat5e F/UTP cable combines the common performance characteristics of Category 5e with foil shielding around the inner pairs, providing lower crosstalk and improved signal integrity compared with unshielded variants. The 50 m continuous length reduces the need for splices in many office and home installations. The cable jacket and construction are intended for indoor use and facilitate tidy routing in cable trays, conduits, or behind equipment racks.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections for offices, homes, and small server rooms
• Structured cabling runs where reduced electromagnetic interference is required
• Point-to-point links between switches, routers, and network devices
• Temporary event networks and testing setups that require a long single cable run

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance suitable for 100BASE-TX and typical Gigabit-ready installations when supported by the network
• Shielding type: F/UTP (overall foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Conductor type: copper conductors (solid or stranded depending on the variant)
• Length: 50 meters continuous cable
• Jacket color: grey for unobtrusive installation
• Intended use: indoor network cabling and patching

How to use

Measure the required run and route the cable through cable trays, conduits, or along walls to reach network devices. Terminate the cable ends with appropriate RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks compatible with Cat5e and F/UTP shielding; ensure the foil drain or overall shield is properly grounded where applicable. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation to maintain cable performance. After termination, test each link with a cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity, and shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat5e cable in environments with potential EMI sources or where improved signal integrity is desired. For runs that may require outdoor exposure or burial, select cable types specifically rated for those conditions. Ground the cable shield at a single point to reduce ground loop risks and follow local cabling standards for best results.
