Patch Cable InLine Cat5e SF/UTP, 1 m, yellow

InLine Patch Cable Cat5e SF/UTP, 1 m, yellow is a shielded Ethernet patch cord designed for structured cabling and network interconnections. The cable supports Cat5e performance for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications where short connection lengths between network devices, switches, patch panels and wall outlets are required. Its SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction combines an overall braid with individual foil shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable signal transfer in environments with potential noise sources.

Advantages

The combination of foil and braid shielding provides improved protection against EMI compared with unshielded cables, leading to clearer signal transmission and fewer data errors in electrically noisy environments. The 1 m length offers a compact solution for tidy patching in server cabinets, switch stacks and desktop setups. A flexible yellow jacket makes the cable easily identifiable in patch fields and simplifies cable management without compromising handling or bend performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in wiring closets
• Linking network devices to wall outlets for office workstations
• Short interconnects in data cabinets and server racks
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance for Ethernet networks
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall braid + foil on pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, stranded copper conductors
• Connectors: 8P8C (RJ45) terminated on both ends
• Jacket color: yellow for easy identification

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (switch, hub or patch panel) and the other connector into the destination device or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid excessive bending near the connector boots and keep the cable free from tight kinks or sharp edges. If used in shielded installations, verify that connectors and patch panels provide proper grounding for the cable shield.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m InLine Cat5e SF/UTP patch cable for short, shielded connections where reduced EMI and clear identification are needed. For longer runs or higher-speed requirements, consider cables rated for higher categories and appropriate installation practices to maintain signal integrity.
