Cables To Go 28695 Cat5e Shielded Ethernet Cable 25 ft Black

What this cable is and who it serves

The Cables To Go 28695 is a 25 ft Cat5e shielded patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It suits home offices, small businesses or anyone extending a wired Ethernet link up to Gigabit speeds where electromagnetic interference is a concern. The black jacket and snagless boots keep the run tidy and durable. Buyers needing longer runs, outdoor ratings or higher category performance should look elsewhere.

Check your existing setup before ordering

Verify that both devices you plan to connect present standard RJ45 ports and that a 25 ft span covers the distance without excess slack. Confirm the equipment supports at least Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet so the Cat5e rating is fully utilised. Ensure the pathway can accommodate a shielded cable with a drain wire and that you have a grounding point if your installation practice requires one. The cable weighs approximately 263.1 g.

Build quality and daily handling

The conductors are wrapped in foil shielding to block EMI and RFI, and the assembly is UL verified to meet Cat 5e TIA/EIA standards. Molded snagless boots protect the latch tabs during repeated insertion and removal, while the strain-relief design reduces stress on the termination points. At 7.62 metres the black jacket resists visible wear in rack or desk routing, and the shield adds stiffness that keeps the cable from kinking when bent around corners.
