InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e Blue 3m

The InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e blue 3m is a 3-meter Cat.5e twisted pair network cable with SF/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It is intended for connecting network components such as switches, routers, wall sockets, patch panels and network cards, and supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gb/s) at up to 125 MHz.

Advantages

SF/UTP shielding provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables. The Cat.5e specification supports Gigabit-speed connections up to 1 Gb/s at a maximum frequency of 125 MHz. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors on both ends simplify installation and ensure compatible, plug-and-play connectivity. The blue jacket allows easy identification in structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers
• Linking patch panels and wall sockets
• Connecting network interface cards in desktop PCs or servers
• Copper-based Gigabit Ethernet connections (1 Gb/s)

Key specifications

• Cable type: SF/UTP Cat.5e twisted pair
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 → RJ-45
• Maximum data rate: 1 Gb/s
• Maximum frequency: 125 MHz
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the device (switch, router, socket, patch panel or network card) and the other RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port of the opposite device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the locking tab clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; do not exceed the recommended bend radius for twisted pair cables. For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-power electrical lines.

Recommendations

Use this SF/UTP Cat.5e patch cable for short to medium-length horizontal and patch connections within racks and between network equipment. For environments with significant EMI or longer runs requiring higher bandwidth, consider shielded installation practices or higher-category cables (e.g., Cat6/6A) as appropriate.
