Networking cable LOGON TCR55SS015O Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) Orange 1.5 m RJ-45–RJ-45

LOGON TCR55SS015O Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) Orange 1.5 m RJ-45–RJ-45 is a 1.5 metre network patch cable designed for Cat5e Ethernet connections. The cable uses four twisted pairs (4x2 AWG 26/7) with an overall foil and braid shield (S-FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 male connectors and moulded boots with kink protection and strain relief for reliable contact and extended connector life. The orange jacket provides easy visual identification in cabling setups.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction combines pair-level foil and an overall braided shield to improve immunity to external noise and maintain stable signal transmission at Cat5e performance. The 26/7 stranded conductors balance flexibility and conductivity suitable for patching and short link applications. Molded boots with strain relief reduce stress at the connector entry, helping prevent damage from repeated bending and unplugging. The 1.5 m length is convenient for connecting devices within racks, between patch panels and switches, or in desktop workstations while the bright orange colour aids cable management and quick identification.

Suitable for

• Office and home Ethernet patching between switches, routers and patch panels
• Connecting desktop PCs, VoIP phones, printers and networked appliances
• Short horizontal runs in racks and structured cabling where shielding is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where S-FTP shielding improves stability

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, router, patch panel or device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from power lines or large electrical equipment where possible to minimise residual interference. The moulded boot and strain relief should be positioned near the connector to reduce mechanical stress during use.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for short to medium patch connections up to the Cat5e specification limits. Avoid excessive pulling force when routing and maintain bend radius greater than the cable diameter. For permanent horizontal runs or distances beyond standard patch lengths, consider verifying cabling standards for your installation and using appropriate in-wall rated or higher-category cables if required.
