Networking Cable ShiverPeaks BS75230 Grey 30m Cat5e SF/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75230 Grey 30m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable is a 30-metre Ethernet cable designed to meet Cat5e performance requirements. It uses an SF/UTP construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and provide stable data transmission over copper conductors. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is finished in a neutral grey jacket suitable for home or office installations where a balance of performance and discreet appearance is required.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding combines an overall foil layer with an additional braided screen to limit crosstalk and external noise, supporting consistent signal quality for typical Cat5e applications. With a 30 m length, the cable allows flexible placement of networked devices without intermediate repeaters. The pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors enable immediate plug-and-play use with standard network equipment and switches. The grey outer sheath provides basic protection against abrasion while integrating unobtrusively into residential and commercial environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network printers to a router or switch
• Wiring small office and home office (SOHO) network segments
• Linking media devices such as smart TVs, streaming boxes and network storage
• Temporary or semi-permanent cable runs where a 30 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance class for up to 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) and typical gigabit-capable installations depending on environment
• Length: 30 metres
• Shielding: SF/UTP — overall foil plus braided screen around unshielded twisted pairs
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends (pre-terminated)
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper conductors suitable for signal transmission (check product labelling for conductor type)
• Outer jacket: grey protective sheath for indoor use

How to use

Uncoil the 30 m cable carefully to avoid kinks and gently route it from the network switch or router to the target device. Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks into place. For reduced signal loss, avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from large sources of electrical interference such as unshielded mains transformers or heavy machinery. If running the cable along walls or through ceilings, secure it with suitable clips or cable ties designed for data cabling to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for indoor network links where improved shielding helps maintain signal integrity. For permanent structured cabling or runs longer than 30 metres between active network devices, consider verifying installation environment and using appropriate cable management and termination practices.
