Networking cable LOGON SSTP Cat5e, red, 1.5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45

LOGON SSTP Cat5e networking cable, 1.5 m in striking red, terminated with shielded RJ-45 plugs on both ends. The SSTP construction pairs foil around each pair with an overall braided shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections for short runs. This cable is intended for patching, switch-to-router links and short LAN connections where a reliable, shielded Cat5e cable with visible colour coding is required.

Advantages

The combination of pair-level foil and an overall braid improves resistance to external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Shielded RJ-45 plugs with boots provide improved grounding continuity and strain relief, while the 1.5 m length offers neat, low-latency connections for racks, wall ports and desktop setups. The red jacket allows quick visual identification within patch bays and cable runs.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet patch connections between switches, routers and network devices
• Home and small office LAN wiring where colour-coded cables help organisation
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred
• Server racks and patch panels requiring short, clearly marked interconnects

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 5e (Cat5e)
• Shielding: SSTP — foil on pairs plus overall braided shield
• Connectors: Shielded RJ-45 male to shielded RJ-45 male
• Length: 1.5 m
• Colour: Red
• Boot: Strain relief with kink protection
• Performance: Supports 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps Ethernet

How to use

Connect one shielded RJ-45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or network device and the other plug to the target device or wall port. Ensure the shielded connectors make proper contact with grounded shielded ports where available; proper grounding of both ends preserves the effectiveness of the SSTP shielding. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the boot provides kink protection but the cable should not be pinched in doors or cable management trays.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use shielded ports or ensure chassis ground continuity when deploying SSTP cables in environments with significant electrical noise. Avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines for long distances and keep length within the intended 1.5 m to preserve signal quality. Use the red colour to mark critical connections or separate network segments for easier maintenance.
