The SecurityNET SF/UTP Cat.5e patch cable is a reliable networking solution designed to provide stable data transmission for various local area network applications. Measuring 3 meters in length, this cable features a robust PVC jacket and shielded twisted pair construction, which helps minimize electromagnetic interference and ensures consistent performance for your connected devices.

Advantages

This patch cable offers enhanced protection against external signal interference thanks to its SF/UTP shielding design. The durable PVC outer layer provides flexibility and resistance to wear, making it suitable for long-term use in standard indoor environments. By supporting Cat.5e standards, it facilitates efficient data transfer speeds necessary for everyday internet connectivity and local network communication between hardware components.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to wall outlets
• 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 intended for outdoor use or environments with extreme temperature fluctuations, as the PVC jacket is designed for indoor conditions. It may also be insufficient for high-bandwidth applications requiring Cat6 or higher standards, such as professional-grade server farms or high-speed data centers.

Key specifications

The 3-meter length is ideal for connecting devices located in close proximity, such as a computer to a nearby router.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat.5e standards
• Check if your environment requires shielded cables to prevent interference

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running network cables alongside power lines to prevent potential electromagnetic interference. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to ensure a solid physical connection.
