Networking Cable Tecline 71310 10m Cat5e SF/UTP

The Tecline 71310 10m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable is a shielded Ethernet lead designed for wired local area network connections. It complies with the Cat5e specification for data transmission and incorporates SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and resist corrosion. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding of this Cat5e cable helps to minimize the impact of external electromagnetic noise on signal quality, improving stability in environments with multiple electrical devices. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure steady electrical contact and lower contact resistance over time. A 10-meter length offers flexibility for routing between network hardware such as routers, switches, modems and networked devices without requiring additional patching components.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers or NAS devices to a router or network switch
• Home and small office Ethernet installations requiring a 10 m reach
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial (near power supplies or other cabling)
• Temporary or permanent wired network setups in workstations, meeting rooms or AV installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance class suitable for up to 1000 Mbps in typical LAN deployments
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil + braided shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Outer jacket: grey PVC for standard flexibility and protection

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your router, switch or modem and the other end to the network port of a computer, printer or other network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until you hear a click to secure the latch. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, kinks or contact with sharp edges, and keep it separated from mains power cables where possible to reduce interference. For wall or ceiling installations use appropriate cable clips or trunking and observe local installation standards.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances and keep bending radius above the manufacturer’s recommended minimum (typically several times the cable diameter). When connecting network devices that require gigabit throughput, verify device compatibility and network configuration to ensure full utilization of Cat5e capacity.
