Networking Cable S/CONN 10m RJ45 Grey Cat5e SF/UTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 10m RJ45 Grey Cat5e SF/UTP is a shielded Cat5e Ethernet cable designed for stable wired network connections. With SF/UTP construction—foil shielding combined with braid—the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and a frequency of 100 MHz. Fitted with RJ-45 8/8 plugs on both ends and presented in a neutral grey jacket, the 10-metre cable suits a range of wiring layouts in home and office environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding provides enhanced protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment. Cat5e specification ensures compatibility with common Ethernet standards up to Gigabit speeds over short distances. The molded RJ-45 connectors offer secure fit and straightforward plug-and-play use, while the 10 m length allows flexible placement of devices without additional adapters.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, printers and NAS devices to a router or switch
• Wired connections in small offices, home networks and multimedia setups
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat5e SF/UTP (foil + braid shielding)
• Connectors: RJ-45 8/8 on both ends
• Length: 10 metres
• Color: Grey
• Rated frequency: 100 MHz
• Maximum data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet compatible over suitable distances)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the port on your router, switch or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a stable physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and prolonged compression; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve the internal pair geometry and shielding. For wall runs or through conduits, verify that the cable fits the available space and is not subjected to excessive pulling force during installation.

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat5e cable in areas with potential electromagnetic interference, such as near power supplies, network switches or industrial equipment. For permanent installations, secure the cable with cable ties or clips while avoiding over-tightening to prevent damage to the jacket and internal conductors.
