Shielded Cat5e patch cable for noisy environments

This 10 ft red Cat5e patch cable uses foil shielding to protect Fast Ethernet and Gigabit links from electromagnetic interference. It is built for installers who run cable near power lines, fluorescent ballasts or industrial equipment where unshielded cable would pick up noise. The RJ45 plugs on both ends are standard for switches, routers, patch panels and wall jacks. Condition is new.

Snagless boot and UL-verified construction

A molded snagless boot covers the latch on each RJ45 connector, preventing the tab from catching on adjacent cables during pulls or moves. The boot also adds strain relief where the cable meets the plug, reducing the risk of broken conductors after repeated re-seating. The cable carries UL verification to Cat 5e TIA/EIA standards, confirming it meets the required NEXT and return-loss limits for the category.

Colour-coded 10 ft length for structured wiring

At 10 feet (3.04 m) the cable suits typical rack-to-patch-panel or desk-to-wall-joint runs without excess slack. The red jacket allows immediate visual identification in a colour-coded scheme — for example separating voice, data, guest or management VLANs at a glance. Buyers who need longer horizontal runs, outdoor rating or a different category such as Cat6 should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What does the Cat 5e rating cap the cable at in practice?

The Cat 5e rating supports up to 1 Gigabit per second Ethernet speeds over the full 10 ft length.

What physical clearance does the snagless boot need at the port?

The molded snagless boot adds a few millimetres beyond the RJ45 body, so allow a little extra depth behind the patch panel or switch port.

How is the shield terminated, and what step do installers often miss?

The foil shield runs to the metal RJ45 shells; the common mistake is not grounding the patch panel or switch port so the shield can drain interference.
