Black Box Corporation

Black Box Corporation Cat5E 100 MHz Shielded Plenum Patch Cable 20 ft

SKU CH-2VGG-X73EG

A shielded Cat5E plenum patch cable with solid conductors and moulded boots, 20 ft long and rated to 100 MHz

  • Cat5E rating supports 100 MHz bandwidth for reliable data transfer
  • Shielded F/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference in dense installations
  • Plenum-rated jacket meets fire-safety requirements for air-handling spaces
  • Molded boot design protects the connector latch from snag damage
  • 20 ft length suits typical desktop-to-wall or patch-panel runs

Shielded Plenum Ethernet Cable

This 20 ft Cat5E patch cable uses solid F/UTP conductors rated to 100 MHz. A CMP plenum jacket meets fire-safety requirements for installation in air-handling spaces. The green cable is supplied new and ready for structured-wiring runs.

Suited for plenum-rated horizontal runs

Installers who need a shielded, solid-conductor cable for in-ceiling or in-duct pathways will find the specification matches that need. Buyers looking for stranded patch cords, unshielded UTP, or non-plenum riser jackets should select a different cable type.

CMP plenum fire rating

The single deciding specification is the CMP plenum rating, which allows the cable to be routed in environmental air spaces without conduit. If the project does not require a plenum-rated jacket, a standard riser or patch cable will be more cost-effective.

Questions about this item

What does the Cat5E 100 MHz rating limit in practice?

The Cat5E 100 MHz rating caps usable bandwidth at 100 MHz, supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps over the 20 ft length.

What physical pathway does the plenum jacket require?

The CMP plenum jacket is required for installation in air-handling spaces such as drop ceilings or raised floors to meet fire safety codes.

How is the shielded F/UTP cable terminated, and what step is often missed?

Terminate the foil shield to the connector's grounding tab; skipping this step leaves the shielding ineffective against interference.
