Verkkokaapeli ShiverPeaks 75205-500 CAT5e SF/UTP alumiinifolio, 4-parinen Ethernet-kaapeli

ShiverPeaks 75205-500 CAT5e SF/UTP ALU Foil, 4-pair Ethernet cable is a shielded twisted-pair cable engineered for reliable LAN connectivity. The cable contains four twisted pairs and combines pair-level screening with an overall aluminum foil shield to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. It supports CAT5e performance for Fast Ethernet and basic Gigabit links in office, home, and structured cabling environments where improved signal integrity is required compared with unshielded alternatives.

Advantages

The SF/UTP design provides pair screening plus an overall foil shield, offering enhanced protection against external interference while remaining flexible enough for installation in racks, conduits, and trunking. Its CAT5e-rated transmission characteristics ensure compatibility with common Ethernet equipment and switches. The cable’s construction balances mechanical robustness and manageability, allowing consistent data transmission over horizontal and patching runs.

Suitable for

• Office and corporate LAN horizontal cabling and patch panels
• Home networks requiring improved noise immunity for Ethernet
• Structured cabling where shielded cable is preferred to reduce EMI
• Connections between switches, routers, and patch panels in server rooms

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5e performance for Fast Ethernet and basic Gigabit connections
• Shielding: pair-level screening with overall aluminum foil (SF/UTP)
• Conductor configuration: 4 twisted pairs
• Typical application: LAN, patching, structured cabling
• Installation characteristics: flexible for routing in conduits, trays, and racks

How to use

Measure and cut the required length, leaving additional slack for termination and routing. Strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the four twisted pairs without damaging the foil shield or conductors. Maintain appropriate cable preparation to preserve shielding continuity: fold the overall foil back over the outer jacket or follow the chosen connector/termination system instructions for SF/UTP cabling. Terminate using compatible RJ45 shielded connectors or punch-down blocks designed for shielded cables, and ensure proper earthing of the shield at the patch panel or connector to achieve effective EMI reduction.

Recommendations

Route shielded cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic noise where possible. Use shielded connectors and ensure the shield is grounded at one point to prevent ground loops. For runs requiring full Gigabit throughput over longer distances, verify link performance after installation and prefer CAT6 or higher if sustained 1 Gbps over challenging environments is necessary.
