Shielded Cat5E patch cable

This 15 ft shielded Cat5E patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded pure copper conductors with FTP construction and snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is built for standard Ethernet runs in home offices, small business networks and data closets where EMI protection matters. The blue jacket aids quick visual identification in dense panels. Condition is new.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive copper cable it generates no heat, produces no audible noise and draws no power of its own. It supports IEEE 802.3af and is DTE power compliant, so it can carry PoE up to four times the standard rating without affecting signal integrity. The low-profile hood fits high-density switch ports without blocking adjacent jacks.

Bundled accessories and software

No software, drivers or additional accessories are included in the package. The cable itself provides the complete link; its shielded design and 350 MHz bandwidth rating with NEXT performance beyond 600 MHz handle the electrical requirements. Buyers who need pre-terminated fiber, longer bulk reels or integrated cable-management trays will not find those items here.

Questions about this item

How do I install this shielded Cat5E patch cable and what is the common mistake?

Plug each RJ45 connector into the matching port until the tab clicks; the low-profile hood fits high-density switches, but forcing the tab past the latch without depressing it bends the snagless boot and can break the latch.

What maintenance or replacement will this 15 ft blue FTP cord need over time?

Inspect the snagless boots and RJ45 contacts periodically; replace the cable if the boot tears, the latch fails to hold, or the stranded 24 AWG copper conductors show kinks or corrosion.

What limit appears first on this 350 MHz shielded cable during sustained PoE use?

The cable is PoE rated to four times the IEEE 802.3af standard, so the practical limit is the 350 MHz bandwidth ceiling before signal degradation outweighs the power headroom.
