Network Cable ShiverPeaks 75210-50 CAT 5e F/UTP 50 m

ShiverPeaks Network Cable 75210-50 CAT 5e F/UTP is a 50 m Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling in offices, homes and small enterprise environments. The cable conforms to CAT 5e performance parameters and uses overall foil shielding (F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity across horizontal runs up to 50 metres. It is intended for standard Ethernet links up to 100 Mbps and for installations where a shielded cable helps prevent cross-talk and external noise.

Advantages

The F/UTP construction provides a continuous foil shield around the twisted pair bundle, improving resistance to external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded variants. The 50 m length offers a single-run solution for typical horizontal and cross-room connections without additional splices. Compliance with CAT 5e electrical characteristics ensures compatibility with existing 100BASE-TX networks and typical Ethernet hardware. The cable’s flexible jacket permits easier routing in cable trays, conduits and behind furniture.

Suitable for

• LAN and office network horizontal cabling
• Home networking and multimedia streaming at CAT 5e speeds
• Connections between switches, patch panels and wall outlets within a single 50 m run
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where foil shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Category: CAT 5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil around the twisted pairs)
• Length: 50 m
• Conductor type: twisted pairs (4 pairs)
• Suitable transmission: up to 100 Mbps (100BASE-TX) per CAT 5e standard
• Typical use: horizontal and patch cabling for Ethernet networks

How to use

Measure the route required for the 50 m cable making allowances for slack at termination points. Run the cable through conduits, cable trays or along baseboards, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields where possible. Terminate both ends with compatible RJ45 shielded connectors or punch down onto a shielded patch panel or keystone jack following standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B). Ensure the foil shield is properly bonded to the grounding point at one end or both ends according to your installation practice to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use shielded RJ45 connectors and properly grounded patch panels when installing F/UTP cable. Avoid routing the cable parallel to power mains for long runs and maintain bend radius as specified by the cable manufacturer. Test the installed link with a certified cable tester to verify connectivity, pair integrity and performance up to CAT 5e requirements.
