Verkkokaapeli ShiverPeaks BS75210-500HS harmaa 500 m Cat5e F/UTP

The ShiverPeaks BS75210-500HS Grey 500m Cat5e F/UTP networking cable is a 500-metre bulk cable designed for structured network installations. Compliant with Cat5e performance parameters, it supports fast Ethernet and other common network protocols while the F/UTP (foil screened, unshielded twisted pair) construction provides a foil shield around the core to reduce external electromagnetic interference. The grey jacket and reliable build make this cable suitable for trunk runs and horizontal cabling in residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

This Cat5e F/UTP cable offers stable data transmission over long runs thanks to its consistent pair twist and shielding layer. The foil shield minimizes crosstalk and external noise without requiring individually shielded pairs, which keeps the cable flexible and easier to terminate. The 500 m length is supplied on a reel for convenient deployment in larger installations and reduces the need for multiple shorter runs.

Suitable for

• Ethernet networks up to Cat5e performance (1000BASE-T compatibility dependent on installation)
• Horizontal and vertical cable runs in offices and homes
• Structured cabling backbones and server room patching
• Installing wall outlets, patch panels and network switches

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding type: F/UTP (foil screened overall, unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 500 metres on a reel
• Outer jacket colour: grey
• Conductor material: copper (solid or stranded depending on variant)
• Typical impedance: 100 Ω (per Cat5e standard)
• Suitable temperature range for typical installations: standard installation temperature ratings

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the reel, then strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the twisted pairs. Follow standard Cat5e wiring schemes (T568A or T568B) when terminating RJ45 plugs or connecting to patch panels and keystone jacks. Ensure the foil shield is properly grounded at the patch panel or outlet when required by the installation to maintain shielding effectiveness. Test each run with a cable tester to verify continuity, pair integrity and correct wiring before putting the network into service.

Recommendations

For consistent performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling tension during installation. Maintain separation from power cables and strong electromagnetic sources; when grounding is used, connect the foil shield at a single point to prevent ground loops. Use appropriate cable management and patching hardware rated for Cat5e to preserve signal quality over time.
