SecurityNET SF/UTP Cat.5e Patch Cable, 2m, Black, PVC

The SecurityNET SF/UTP Cat.5e patch cable is a high-quality networking solution engineered for stable and reliable data transmission in various environments. Measuring 2 meters in length, this cable features shielded twisted pair construction, which provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The durable PVC jacket ensures long-term flexibility and resistance to wear, making it a dependable choice for maintaining consistent network connectivity.

Advantages

This patch cable offers superior signal integrity due to its SF/UTP shielding, which effectively blocks external noise that can degrade network performance. The Cat.5e standard supports reliable data transfer speeds suitable for standard office and home networking tasks. Its 2-meter length is optimized for connecting devices in close proximity, such as linking a computer to a wall outlet or connecting networking hardware within a rack. The robust PVC outer layer provides a balance of durability and ease of installation, ensuring the cable remains functional even with frequent handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to network wall sockets
• Linking routers, switches, and modems in home or office networks
• Establishing stable connections for VoIP phones and network printers
• Reducing signal interference in environments with multiple electronic devices

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for high-speed data requirements exceeding the Cat.5e standard, such as 10Gbps networks, where Cat.6a or higher categories are required. It is also not designed for outdoor use or environments with extreme temperatures, as the PVC jacket is intended for indoor applications.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Length: 2 meters
• Jacket material: PVC
• Color: Black

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a click, indicating a secure connection. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or crushed under heavy furniture, as this can damage the internal wires and affect performance. When disconnecting, press the plastic tab on the connector to release it safely from the port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length to ensure it reaches between your devices without excessive tension
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat.5e standards
• Confirm that the RJ45 interface is compatible with your hardware

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize potential electromagnetic interference. Keep the cable organized using cable ties to prevent tangling and physical strain on the connectors.
