Cavo patch InLine Cat.5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) RJ-45–RJ-45, 40 m, grigio

InLine Cat.5e SF/UTP (S-FTP) patch cable, 40 m, with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The cable features paired conductors with overall and individual foil shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable data transmission up to Cat5e performance. Designed for structured Ethernet installations where a shielded connection is required.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S‑FTP) construction provides both overall and pair-level shielding, improving protection against external electromagnetic noise and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. A 40 m length allows flexible routing between network components without intermediate patch points. Standard RJ‑45 terminations ensure compatibility with common switches, routers, sockets and patch panels that support Cat5e.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e cable does not support higher standards such as Cat6 or Cat6a performance levels and therefore is not suitable where higher bandwidth or future-proofing for multi-gigabit links is required. Also, shielded cables require proper grounding in the network installation; without correct grounding the shielding may be ineffective or introduce other issues.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network device (switch, router or network card) and the other end to the corresponding port on the switch, patch panel or wall socket. Ensure that shielded ports or grounding points are used when connecting to shielded network equipment. Avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve cable performance.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this shielded Cat5e patch cable for 1 Gbit/s Ethernet links in environments with potential electromagnetic interference, and ensure correct grounding of shielded components for optimal performance.
