Patchkabel Digitus CAT 5e SF/UTP DK-1531-005 0,5m

The DIGITUS Patch cord CAT 5e SF/UTP DK-1531-005 is a 0.5 m network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections. The cable features SF/UTP shielding, copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors with copper plating. The transparent blue connector with metal shielding identifies Category 5e (100 MHz) performance while the grey cable jacket provides a neutral appearance for installations.

Advantages

The patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications and is PoE ready. It offers tested performance up to 100 MHz including near end crosstalk (NEXT). Each end has a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to prevent the latching lever from breaking, ensuring durable and secure connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in offices and data cabinets
• Patch panels to switches or routers
• Short-distance horizontal or patch cabling (0.5 m)
• Environments requiring reduced interference due to SF/UTP shielding

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Cable type: SF/UTP (shielded foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Category: Cat 5e / Class D, up to 100 MHz
• Conductors: Copper (Cu)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, copper-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey cable, transparent blue connector with metal shielding
• PoE ready
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices, switches or patch panels until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m patch cord for short interconnections inside racks, patch panels or between adjacent devices. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends near the molded boot to maintain strain relief and signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid excessive bending or tension. Use for short patching runs where Cat 5e performance and SF/UTP shielding are sufficient; for higher bandwidth needs consider higher category cables.
