InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e Yellow 2m

The InLine Patch Cable SF/UTP Cat.5e yellow 2m is a 2-metre network patch cable designed for reliable copper Ethernet connections at speeds up to 1000 Mbit/s. The cable uses SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and it is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The yellow jacket makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels and wiring closets, while the Cat.5e specification supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet over structured cabling.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction combines an overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs to provide improved protection against external interference while maintaining flexibility. RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard network devices such as switches, routers and patch panels. The 2 m length is suitable for desk-to-wall or patch panel-to-switch connections and the bright yellow colour aids visual identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in server rooms and wiring racks
• Temporary or permanent horizontal cabling runs where a 2 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Category: Cat.5e
• Colour: Yellow
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other connector into the switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and potential sources of interference; maintain gentle bend radii and avoid pinching. For fixed installations, use appropriate cable management accessories to secure and label the cable for future maintenance.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.5e SF/UTP cable where moderate shielding is required to reduce external interference but full individually screened pairs are not necessary. For environments with high electromagnetic noise or where PoE (Power over Ethernet) is used at higher power levels, verify compatibility with connected equipment and consider appropriate cable management to maintain performance.
