Metz Connect 13084F3000-E 3m Cat5e S/UTP Black Network Cable

The Metz Connect 13084F3000-E 3m Cat5e S/UTP networking cable is a black patch cable designed for structured network installations and device connections. Built to Cat5e specifications with S/UTP (shielded, unpaired foil) construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for reliable Ethernet links over short to medium distances.

Advantages

The S/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in environments with electrical noise, improving signal integrity for connected equipment. The Cat5e standard ensures compatibility with common Ethernet networks while the robust RJ-45 connectors provide secure, low-resistance contacts. With a 3 meter length and black outer jacket, the cable balances reach and discreet installation in office, server room, or AV setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers within offices or server racks
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet connections in structured cabling
• Audio/video equipment networking and media players in home theatre or conference rooms
• Temporary or permanent cabling where reduced interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat5e, S/UTP (shielded with unpaired foil)
• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Black outer jacket
• Max data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (depending on network equipment and conditions)
• Suitable frequency range for Cat5e-class performance

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device and the other to a switch, router, patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a stable connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and keep it clear of sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance. For installations in racks or conduits, allow some slack and avoid sharp kinks that could damage the internal conductors.

Recommendations

For best results, pair this Cat5e S/UTP cable with shielded network components or properly grounded infrastructure when operating in high-interference environments. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices if the expected throughput is not reached, and replace cables that show visible damage or degraded performance.
