Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75250 50m Cat5e SF/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75250 50m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable is designed for reliable data transmission in home and small office networks. This grey cable conforms to Cat5e specifications and uses SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it provides a ready-to-use connection for Ethernet devices and supports typical Cat5e performance for data and voice applications.

Advantages

SF/UTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually unshielded twisted pairs, improving protection against external interference while keeping flexibility. The 50 m length covers medium-distance runs between networking equipment without additional joins. Factory-fitted RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard network ports and simplify installation. The cable's Cat5e rating supports stable data rates suitable for common broadband and LAN setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and desktop PCs in home and office environments
• Wired Ethernet connections for IP phones and networked printers
• Structured cabling runs where a 50 m length is required
• Environments needing improved resistance to EMI and crosstalk

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 5e (Cat5e)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 50 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Grey
• Application: Ethernet networking, data and voice transmission

How to use

Route the cable between devices avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible. Insert the RJ-45 plugs securely into the network ports of your router, switch, computer or other network devices until the connector latches. For wall routing or tidier installations, use cable clips or trunking to support the cable along its path. If longer runs or permanent in-wall installation is needed, follow local building codes and installation standards.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable separated from mains power cables and large transformers, and avoid tightly coiling the cable. When connecting network equipment, ensure ports are configured for Cat5e operation and test link speed after installation to confirm reliable connectivity.
