LogiLink CAT5E SF/UTP Networking Cable, 1m, Grey, RJ-45

The LogiLink CAT5E SF/UTP networking cable is a high-quality patch cable designed to provide stable and reliable data transmission for your local network. Measuring 1 meter in length, this cable is engineered with SF/UTP shielding, which combines foil and braid to offer superior protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Finished in a neutral grey color, it features standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of networking hardware.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this cable is its robust shielding construction, which significantly reduces signal degradation caused by external electronic noise. This makes it a dependable choice for maintaining consistent network speeds in environments where multiple cables are bundled together or near other electronic devices. Its compact 1-meter length is ideal for reducing cable clutter in tight spaces, such as connecting devices within a single rack or between a wall outlet and a nearby computer.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to wall sockets
• Linking routers to modems
• Connecting network switches to patch panels
• Home office and small business network setups

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for long-distance connections due to its 1-meter length. Additionally, while it supports standard CAT5E performance, it may not be the optimal choice for high-bandwidth applications requiring CAT6 or higher standards, such as professional-grade server backbones or high-speed data centers.

Key specifications

• Cable type: CAT5E SF/UTP
• Length: 1 meter
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Shielding: SF/UTP (Screened Foiled Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Color: Grey

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or pinched by furniture, as this can damage the internal wiring over time. The cable is plug-and-play, meaning no additional software or configuration is required for it to function immediately upon connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 1 meter is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your devices support RJ-45 Ethernet connections
• Confirm that your network equipment is compatible with CAT5E standards

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines to minimize potential interference. Always disconnect the cable by pressing the plastic locking tab on the connector to prevent damage to the port or the cable head.
