Shielded Cat5e patch cable

The Cable Leader 25ft Cat5e Shielded Ethernet Cable is a gray STP LAN patch cord built with 24AWG bare copper conductors and shielded RJ45 plugs. It is intended for installers and network managers who need a reliable Gigabit link in environments where cables run beside power lines, motors or dense rack bundles.

Practical limits of the Cat5e standard

The Cat5e standard is rated for 100MHz and 1 Gbps at up to 100 meters, while this cable is tested to 350MHz for additional margin. Shielding rejects EMI and RFI, but the cable still cannot carry 10 Gbps over 100 meters; that requires a higher category such as Cat6a. PoE power delivery is supported within the standard's limits.

Deciding specification — 350MHz tested bandwidth

The single figure that determines fit is the 350MHz tested bandwidth, which confirms headroom for clean Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) in noisy server rooms and PoE deployments. Buyers who need 10 Gbps over the full 100 meter channel should select a cable rated for 500MHz or higher.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 25ft length or a different size from the C5104 family?

Choose the 25ft cable when your patch-panel or rack run measures about that distance; the C5104 shielded family also offers other lengths if you need a shorter or longer reach.

What does the 350MHz rating mean for my Gigabit network?

The cable is tested to 350MHz, well above the Cat5e 100MHz baseline, giving extra headroom for clean 1000BASE-T signals in noisy server-room or PoE environments.

How does the shielded RJ45 and Cat5e spec limit real-world speed?

The shielded Cat5e construction supports 1Gbps up to 100m; shielding blocks EMI/RFI but does not raise the category speed ceiling beyond Gigabit Ethernet.
