Networking Cable S/CONN 75230 Grey 30m Cat5e SF/UTP

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN 75230 Grey 30m Cat5e SF/UTP is a 30-metre Cat5e patch cable with SF/UTP shielding designed for wired Ethernet connections. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and comes terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its grey outer sheath and reinforced construction are intended for stable signal transmission and regular installation in home, office or light industrial environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding reduces external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving connection stability over longer runs compared to unshielded cables. Cat5e specification ensures compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks. The pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors simplify deployment without the need for additional crimping, and the 30 m length provides flexibility when routing between distant devices or network equipment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, switches and routers within offices or homes
• Linking network devices across server rooms or between floors where a 30 m run is required
• Wired connections for VoIP phones, IP cameras and smart home hubs where interference protection is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (shielded foil around pair group with overall braid)
• Length: 30 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, factory-terminated
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Outer sheath colour: grey
• Typical application: Ethernet networking (10/100/1000BASE-T)

How to use

Route the cable between the two network endpoints avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or unshielded power cables. Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the Ethernet ports of the devices until they click to ensure a secure connection. Verify link activity using the device LEDs or network diagnostics to confirm connection and negotiated speed. For permanent installations, secure the cable with suitable clips or cable management to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended distances for Ethernet standards and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use shielded patch panels and properly grounded equipment when integrating SF/UTP cabling into an existing infrastructure to maintain shielding effectiveness.
