Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 5e F/UTP 2m

The ShiverPeaks Networking Cable S/CONN Cat. 5e F/UTP 2m is a 2-meter data cable designed for structured networks and point-to-point connections. It supports data transmission speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable features foil shielding around each pair and an overall braid/foil combination (F/UTP) that reduces electromagnetic interference, and comes in a white jacket suitable for visible installations in offices and homes.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP construction provides improved protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded variants, maintaining signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment. Category 5e specification ensures compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet at typical LAN distances. The RJ-45 connectors are standard and compatible with most network devices, and the 2 m length offers flexibility for desk-to-switch or device-to-router connections without excessive cable slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops, printers and network devices to routers or switches
• Office workstations and home networking setups
• Temporary or permanent connections where EMI protection is beneficial
• Patch panels and structured cabling within short-distance runs

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 5e (enhanced)
• Shielding type: F/UTP (foil shield around pairs with overall foil)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Maximum data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 2 m
• Color: white
• Intended use: horizontal and patch cabling for LAN

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the router, switch, or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and kinks and keep it away from power lines or large electrical equipment to minimize interference. For installation in patch panels or keystone jacks, verify connector orientation and seating before completing the connection.

Recommendations

The cable is appropriate for indoor use in office and home environments. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power cables for extended distances, and maintain bend radii recommended for twisted-pair cables. For longer runs or environments with very high interference, consider higher-category shielded cables.
