Telegärtner Cat5e F/UTP Network Cable, RJ-45, 2.5 m, Red

The Telegärtner Cat5e F/UTP network cable is a high-quality solution designed for reliable data transmission in professional and residential network environments. With a length of 2.5 meters and robust F/UTP shielding, this cable effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity. It features standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment, while the vibrant red jacket allows for easy identification within complex cable management systems.

Advantages

This network cable offers superior durability thanks to its flexible construction and integrated moulded strain relief boot, which protects the connection points from damage during frequent handling. The F/UTP shielding provides a 360-degree surround to protect data packets from external noise, ensuring stable performance. By adhering to the EIA/TIA 568B pin assignment standard, the cable guarantees consistent connectivity across various hardware configurations, supporting data transfer rates of up to 1000 Mbit/s for efficient network operations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to routers or switches
• Home office and professional network setups
• Local Area Network (LAN) installations
• Color-coded network infrastructure management

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for standard indoor networking applications and may not be suitable for outdoor use where it would be exposed to moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight. Additionally, it is not intended for high-vibration industrial environments or areas requiring specialized fire-rated cabling.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Shielding type: F/UTP (FTP)
• Connector type: RJ-45 straight male on both ends
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s
• Cable length: 2.5 m
• Pin assignment: EIA/TIA 568B
• Colour: Red

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device, such as a computer or printer, and the other end into your network switch, router, or wall outlet. Ensure that the connector is fully inserted until you hear a distinct click, which confirms that the locking tab is secure. The flexible design allows for easy routing through cable ducts or behind furniture without compromising the internal wiring.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length to ensure 2.5 meters is sufficient for your setup.
• Check if your networking equipment supports Cat5e standards.
• Consider if the red colour is appropriate for your organizational or aesthetic needs.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension, as this can damage the internal conductors and degrade network performance over time.
