Patch Cable InLine B-72502Y 2 m SF/UTP Cat.5e Yellow

InLine B-72502Y is a 2 m yellow patch cable with SF/UTP shielding meeting the Cat.5e specification. Designed for short wired Ethernet connections, this cable provides the performance expected from Cat5e cabling while adding foil and braided shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference in environments with potential noise. The cable uses standard RJ45 terminations and a compact length suitable for linking switches, routers, patch panels and network ports within racks, desktop setups and workstations.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction combines an overall foil shield with an additional braided shield to improve protection against external electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference compared with unshielded alternatives. At 2 m length the cable minimizes excess slack and clutter while maintaining flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The Cat.5e rating ensures compatibility with common Ethernet speeds and network equipment, and the yellow jacket increases visual identification for organized cabling.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches, routers and patch panels in racks or cabinets
• Desktop and office workstation network links where shielding is desirable
• Environments with nearby electrical equipment or cabling that may cause interference
• Color-coded installations requiring a yellow patch cable for identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil + braided shield)
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Jacket color: Yellow
• Typical use: Ethernet LAN patching

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port of your devices (switch, router, patch panel or network socket). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a reliable physical and electrical connection. For shielded installations, verify that connected devices and patch panels support grounding of the cable shield to maximize EMI protection. Route the 2 m cable to avoid sharp bends and kinks and keep it clear of sources of strong electromagnetic noise for best signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Use the InLine B-72502Y for short, visible network links where color coding and additional shielding are beneficial. For shielded performance, pair the cable with shielded ports and properly grounded patch panels or connectors. Avoid excessive bending radius and repeated mechanical stress to maintain long-term reliability.
