Networking cable Alcasa 0.25m Cat5e Grey SF/UTP

The Alcasa 0.25m Cat5e Grey SF/UTP networking cable is a short patch cord designed for reliable Ethernet connections in confined installations. The cable uses an SF/UTP (also referred to as S-FTP) construction with individual foil shielding and an overall braid to reduce electromagnetic interference, and it terminates in RJ-45 connectors on both ends. With a compact 0.25 m length and Cat5e performance, this cable is suited for linking devices where minimal slack and clean cable management are required.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding improves protection against external noise sources compared with unshielded variants, contributing to stable signal transmission in environments with other nearby cables or electronic equipment. The Cat5e specification supports fast Ethernet and gigabit-capable networks over short runs. Its grey PVC outer jacket and slim form factor make the cable unobtrusive in racks, switch panels, or behind desktop devices. RJ-45 terminations provide broad compatibility with network ports and consumer networking hardware.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Server racks and switch panels where space is limited
• Desktop or multimedia setups requiring tidy cable routing
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable type: SF/UTP (S-FTP) with individual foil and overall braid
• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Grey
• Typical applications: Ethernet networking, data transmission up to Cat5e performance

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (for example, a switch or router) and insert the other RJ-45 connector into the target device (such as a computer, access point, or wall jack). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Because the cable is short, route it to avoid sharp bends or pinching and allow slight slack at each connector to prevent strain on the termination.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for short, internal connections rather than long runs. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines; when installing near sources of strong interference, ensure proper grounding of shielded infrastructure where applicable. Inspect RJ-45 connectors periodically for secure seating and replace the cable if jacket damage or connector wear is observed.
