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

The SecurityNET SF/UTP Cat.5e patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for stable and reliable data transmission. Measuring 5 meters in length, this cable features double shielding, combining foil and braid (SF/UTP) to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable is protected by a flexible yet durable PVC jacket, making it a dependable choice for maintaining consistent network speeds in various environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this cable is its superior shielding construction, which provides enhanced protection against external signal interference compared to unshielded alternatives. This ensures a cleaner data signal and more reliable performance for demanding network applications. The 5-meter length offers sufficient reach for most standard office or home setups, while the high-quality materials ensure long-term durability and resistance to wear and tear during daily use.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to wall outlets
• Linking routers to network switches
• Connecting network-attached storage devices
• Home office and small business local area networks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use, as the PVC jacket is not rated for exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, it is not suitable for high-speed 10Gbps network environments, as it is designed specifically for Cat.5e performance standards.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (double shielded)
• Length: 5 meters
• Jacket material: PVC
• Color: Green

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a distinct click, indicating that the plug is securely locked in place. Repeat this process for the second device you wish to connect. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or pinched by furniture, as this can damage the internal conductors and degrade signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

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

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or near large electrical appliances, as this can induce interference despite the shielding. Always handle the connectors by the plastic housing rather than pulling on the cable itself.
