Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75217 7.5m Cat5e SF/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75217 7.5m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable provides a wired connection between network devices with a balanced combination of performance and shielding. This cable follows the Cat5e standard and uses SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference while maintaining stable data transfer. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in white, it is intended for direct device-to-device connections in home and office installations where a mid-length cable is required.

Advantages

Cat5e specification ensures compatibility with common Ethernet networks and supports typical fast Ethernet and gigabit-ready installations within its specification limits. SF/UTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individual pair screening to lower susceptibility to external interference, improving signal integrity in environments with moderate electromagnetic noise. The 7.5m length offers flexibility for routing between desks, switches, routers and networked devices while the molded RJ-45 connectors provide a secure physical interface.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, routers, switches and network printers
• Wired home networks and small office network segments
• Temporary or permanent runs where a 7.5m cable length is practical
• Environments where additional shielding is beneficial to reduce interference

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil with individual pair screening)
• Length: 7.5 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 connectors on both ends
• Color: White
• Use case: Ethernet data transmission for home and office networks

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your source device (router, switch or modem) and plug the other connector into the destination device (computer, printer or networked peripheral). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; leave a small service loop near devices to prevent strain on the connectors. If installing in structured cabling pathways, follow local guidelines for cable routing and separation from power lines.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power cables for long distances and keep the cable within its bend radius. Test the link after installation with network diagnostic tools to confirm expected throughput and signal quality. Use the cable indoors and in dry environments; if an outdoor or plenum-rated solution is required, select a cable designed for those conditions.
