DIGITUS patchkabel - Cat 5e - SF/UTP - rasthebelschutz - Cu - 5 m - blauw

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 5e SF/UTP DK-1531-050/B is a 5 m network cable with RJ-45 connectors and copper conductors, designed to meet ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e standards. The transparent blue plug with metal shielding provides quick visual identification of Category 5e (100 MHz) and the cable is PoE ready. Each connector has a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to reduce the risk of damage during installation.

Advantages

Shielding (SF/UTP) reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity in environments with potential noise sources. Compliance with Cat5e standards and testing up to 100 MHz ensures predictable performance for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications. The copper conductor and reinforced connector boots increase durability and reliability during installation and operation.

Suitable for

• Structured LAN patching in offices and server rooms
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices
• PoE-powered devices such as IP phones and access points

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device and the other to the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends near the connector boots to maintain performance. Use the cable for standard ethernet connections within a structured cabling channel that meets Cat5e/ISO requirements.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid tight bends (minimum bend radius typically four times the cable diameter), keep cable runs away from strong electromagnetic sources and follow channel length limits defined by your network design. Inspect the molded boots and latch protector before installation to ensure secure connections.
