Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 5e F/UTP 0.25m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 5e F/UTP 0.25m is a short, shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transfer between networked devices located close to each other. It supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable’s F/UTP shielding and Category 5e performance are intended to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in compact cabling runs. The 0.25 meter length and white jacket make it suitable for tidy connections in racks, desktop setups, and home networking where space is limited.

Advantages

The cable combines Category 5e wiring standard with foil-shielded twisted pairs (F/UTP) to provide improved resistance to external interference compared with unshielded cables. Its short 0.25 m length minimizes excess cable clutter and potential signal attenuation from long runs. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network ports on switches, routers, network cards and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The white outer jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates easily into most office or home environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switch to a patch panel or nearby ports in a network rack
• Linking a desktop PC, NAS or networked printer to a router or switch at short distance
• Short patch connections behind wall-mounted devices or AV equipment
• Applications requiring shielded cables to limit EMI in small installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil over twisted pairs)
• Maximum data rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 0.25 m
• Outer jacket color: white

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the Ethernet ports of the devices you want to connect until a click confirms proper seating. Use the 0.25 m cable for direct, short-distance connections where minimal slack is needed; avoid stretching the cable or bending it sharply near the connector to prevent damage. If shielding continuity is required in your installation, ensure the connected devices and patch panels or outlets support shielded cabling and grounding.

Recommendations

Choose this short F/UTP Cat. 5e cable for tidy, shielded connections in compact setups. For longer runs or higher shielding performance requirements, select an appropriate length or higher category (Cat6/Cat6a) cable and verify proper grounding of the shielded connectors.
