Telegärtner networking cable 100009015 Red 10 m Cat5 SF/UTP (S-FTP) RJ-45–RJ-45

Telegärtner networking cable 100009015 is a 10 m red S-FTP (also described as SF/UTP) patch cord with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. It provides foil and braid shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and is intended for Ethernet patching and connecting switches, routers and other network devices in office or home installations.

Advantages

The cable's S-FTP construction (foil plus braided shield) improves protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables. A 10 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-desk or equipment-to-equipment connections, and standardized RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with common Ethernet ports. The red jacket helps with visual identification of specific runs in patch panels or cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patching between switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• Connecting routers, access points and network devices in offices or homes
• Short to medium length horizontal connections in structured cabling

When it may not be suitable

This cable is described as Cat5 SF/UTP (S-FTP) in the source data; it may not meet Cat6a performance if an environment specifically requires certified Cat6a transmission parameters. It is supplied with RJ-45 straight male connectors on both ends and is intended for patch and device connections rather than direct burial or permanent outdoor runs.

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Shielding: foil + braid (S-FTP / SF/UTP)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, straight male
• Colour: red

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the jacket colour can be used to mark or segregate specific connections. For best performance, keep the cable clear of strong electrical noise sources and do not run it in parallel with mains power over long distances.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required category level for your network (source lists Cat5 SF/UTP / S-FTP)
• Ensure a 10 m length suits your planned connections and cable management
• Confirm shielded cable compatibility with your networking equipment and grounding requirements

Usage recommendations

Use this red S-FTP patch cord for indoor Ethernet patching and device interconnections where shielded cabling is preferred; avoid outdoor exposure and ensure proper grounding when integrating shielded cables into an installation.
