Patch Cable RJ45 FTP (F / UTP) 0.25m green, CAT5e, Synergy 21, content_copy

The patch cable from Synergy 21, type S215004, is a data cable of category Cat5e with a bandwidth of 100 MHz, specifically designed for use in local area networks (LAN). It features FTP (F/UTP) shielding, where the entire cable is wrapped in a metallic foil to minimize electromagnetic interference. The cable jacket is made of PVC, providing good mechanical stability and resistance to moisture. The cable has a length of 0.25 meters and is colored green, making it easily identifiable in the network. The individual conductors have a gauge of 26 AWG, ensuring sufficient conductivity for short connections. The outer diameter is 5.20 mm, enabling a compact and flexible design. Both ends are fitted with RJ45 connectors, equipped with a latch nose protection to ensure a secure and stable connection. The connectors are nickel-plated, and the contacts are gold-plated (3 µm), ensuring high contact quality and corrosion resistance. The pin assignment follows the 568B standard, ensuring universal compatibility with common network devices. The cable is delivered in a blister pack from Synergy 21, providing protection during transport and storage.

Applications
This patch cable is suitable for use in small to medium-sized networks, particularly for connections between switches, routers, PCs, printers, or other network devices. The short length of 0.25 m makes it especially suitable for use in server rooms, enclosures, or for connecting devices in close proximity. The FTP shielding ensures low interference, which is advantageous in environments with high electromagnetic noise, such as near motors or other electrical equipment. The PVC jacket is designed for indoor use and provides sufficient protection against mechanical stress.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The cable is designed as a round cable, enabling easy installation and mounting. The foil shielding (FTP) protects the internal conductors from external electromagnetic interference and simultaneously prevents signal radiation from the cable, enhancing signal integrity. The RJ45 connectors are equipped with a latch nose protection, facilitating insertion into sockets and ensuring a secure lock. The use of 26 AWG conductors ensures sufficient current carrying capacity for data transmission up to 100 MHz. The green color serves for visual differentiation in the network, especially when multiple cables of different functions or connections are used.

Technology Explained Simply
The designation Cat5e refers to Category 5e, which enables data transmission rates up to 100 Mbit/s at a bandwidth of 100 MHz. This category is sufficient for use in modern LAN networks, especially for applications such as internet access, email, or file transfers. The FTP shielding (F/UTP) means the entire cable is wrapped in a metallic foil, providing better interference protection than unshielded cables (UTP). The PVC jacket is a standard material for indoor cables, being water-resistant, flexible, and easy to handle. The RJ45 connectors are the standard connectors for Ethernet networks, enabling quick and secure connections. The pin assignment 568B is the most common standard in Europe and is supported by most network devices.

Compatibility and Accessories
The patch cable is compatible with all devices supporting RJ45 connectors, such as switches, routers, network interface cards (NICs), or network printers. It is suitable for use in networks complying with the standards ISO/IEC 11801 and EN 50173, which define technical requirements for data cables. As accessories, cable ties, Velcro straps, or cable organizers from Synergy 21 can be used to neatly route and secure the cable. These products are also available in the range and support structured cable management.

Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by simply inserting the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding sockets of the network devices. The latch nose protection on the connectors ensures the connection is securely locked. During installation, care should be taken to avoid excessive bending or stress on the cable to prevent damage to the conductors. The PVC jacket provides sufficient protection against mechanical stress, although installation in damp or extreme environments is not intended. The short length of 0.25 m requires precise planning of device positioning to ensure an optimal connection.

Operational Advantages
The cable provides reliable data transmission with low interference thanks to the FTP shielding. The short length minimizes signal loss and ensures a stable connection. The green color facilitates identification in the network, especially in complex installations. The use of high-quality materials such as nickel and gold plating on the connectors ensures long service life and high contact quality. The blister pack protects the cable from contamination and damage until installation.
