InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e Red 0.5m

The InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e red 0.5m is a short Ethernet patch cable designed for connecting network components with RJ45 ports, such as switches, routers, wall sockets, patch panels and network cards. It conforms to Cat5e standards for Gigabit connections (1 Gb/s) and supports transmission frequencies up to 125 MHz. The cable features SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and is finished in red for easy identification within installations.

Advantages

SF/UTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping maintain stable data transfer over short runs. The 0.5 m length is suitable for tidy patching in racks or between closely located devices. The red colour aids cable management by making the cable quickly traceable among multiple connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers to patch panels or wall sockets
• Short patching between network cards and nearby network ports
• Rack or cabinet cable management where colour coding is used

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.5e (SF/UTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector: RJ45
• Maximum speed: 1 Gb/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Maximum frequency: 125 MHz
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device port and the other into the corresponding port on the second device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and that there is no visible damage to the cable or connectors before use. Use the short 0.5 m length for neat connections inside racks, between adjacent devices or for colour-coded patching runs.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and maintain gentle bends with a radius larger than the cable diameter. Use the red colour to mark specific network segments or functions during installation. Inspect connectors periodically and replace the cable if shielding or connector integrity is compromised.
