SecurityNET SF/UTP Cat.5e Patch Cable, 0.25m, Grey, PVC

The SecurityNET SF/UTP Cat.5e patch cable is a professional-grade networking component engineered for stable and secure data transmission. Measuring 0.25 meters in length, this cable is specifically designed for high-density environments where short-distance connectivity is required. The SF/UTP construction incorporates double shielding, which effectively protects the signal from electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring consistent network performance in demanding conditions.

Advantages

This patch cable offers superior signal integrity due to its double-shielded design, which significantly reduces the risk of data corruption caused by external electrical noise. The use of a high-quality PVC jacket provides a balance of flexibility and durability, allowing for easy routing within tight spaces such as server racks or patch panels without compromising the internal conductors. Its compact length minimizes cable clutter, promoting better airflow and organization in professional network installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in server racks
• Linking patch panels to active equipment
• Short-distance connections between office hardware
• Environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance runs, as its 0.25-meter length limits its use to localized connections within a single cabinet or desk area. It is also not designed for outdoor use or environments exposed to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals, as the standard PVC jacket lacks the necessary weather-resistant properties.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.5e
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (double shielded)
• Length: 0.25 meters
• Jacket material: PVC
• Color: Grey

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device until you hear a click, ensuring a secure connection. When routing the cable, avoid bending it at sharp angles to maintain the integrity of the internal twisted pairs. Ensure that the cable is not under excessive tension, especially when connecting devices in a rack, to prevent damage to the connectors or the cable itself.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup to ensure 0.25m is sufficient
• Check if your network equipment supports Cat.5e standards
• Confirm that your environment requires shielded cabling to mitigate interference

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, ensure that all connected devices are properly grounded and that the cable is kept away from high-voltage power lines to maximize the benefits of the SF/UTP shielding.
