Patch Cable Equip Cat.5e SF/UTP RJ-45 3.0m Blue

The Equip Cat.5e SF/UTP Patch Cable (3.0 m) is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission in structured networks. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends, gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and resistance to corrosion, and SF/UTP shielding to reduce external interference. The cable meets EIA/TIA 568-B.2 channel standard and is suitable for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications.

Advantages

Constructed from quality materials and manufactured to meet industry channel standards, the patch cable provides stable, low-error signal transmission. SF/UTP shielding increases resistance to electromagnetic interference, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure durable and consistent electrical contact. The 3.0 m length offers flexible placement in racks, workstations, and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in LANs
• Server room patching and rack cabling
• Workstation network connections
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-TX) links

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (braid + foil over pairs)
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: Blue
• Weight: 0.096 kg
• Standards: EIA/TIA 568-B.2 channel compliance

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router, or NIC) and the other into the corresponding port on the patch panel or endpoint. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.5e SF/UTP patch cable for short- to medium-length connections within racks and office environments where EMI protection is beneficial. Do not exceed the recommended channel distance for Cat5e cabling when combining with permanent links; inspect connectors regularly for wear and replace if contact resistance increases.
