S/CONN Cat. 5e F/UTP 25m networking cable Grey Cat5e F/UTP FTP

The S/CONN Cat. 5e F/UTP 25m networking cable Grey Cat5e F/UTP FTP from ShiverPeaks is a 25‑metre Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling and point‑to‑point network connections. It supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and uses RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The F/UTP shielding combines an overall foil with unshielded twisted pairs to reduce external electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility for installation in office, home, or data‑communication environments.

Advantages

This Cat5e F/UTP cable provides gigabit‑capable performance in a flexible 25 m length, making it suitable for longer runs without repeaters. The foil‑shielded outer layer offers protection against EMI and crosstalk from nearby electrical equipment and cabling. RJ‑45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard networking devices such as switches, routers, network cards and patch panels. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance for professional installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, servers and network switches in offices
• Home network backbone and wired connections for streaming or gaming
• Patch panel to switch or router connections in small server rooms
• Temporary or semi‑permanent cabling where 25 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (enhanced)
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 25 metres
• Connectors: RJ‑45 on both ends
• Data rate support: up to 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Colour of jacket: Grey

How to use

Route the cable between the two network endpoints avoiding sharp bends and prolonged contact with sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert the RJ‑45 plugs fully into device ports until the latch clicks. For in‑rack or wall installations, secure the cable at intervals with appropriate clips or cable ties, maintaining bend radius and avoiding over‑tightening. If connecting to patch panels, ensure both ends are properly labeled for easy identification.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e F/UTP cable for gigabit Ethernet links where an extra level of shielding is beneficial; avoid bundling with high‑voltage power cables and maintain separation from major EMI sources. For permanent installations, verify link performance with a network tester after installation and keep spare lengths for future re‑routing or re‑termination.
