METRA CAT5e 350MHz Shielded Blue 1000ft video accessory

SKU CH-K1KW-XY4AZ

Shielded Cat5e cable rated to 350 MHz, supplied in a 1000 ft blue box for 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-VG, 155 ATM and 10000BASE-T networks

  • Product colorBlue
  • Reliable high-speed networking with 350MHz bandwidth rating
  • Shielded construction reduces interference for stable data transmission
  • 1000ft pull-box simplifies large installation projects
  • Supports Gigabit Ethernet and 155 ATM applications
  • ROHS CE ETL compliant for safety and environmental standards

Shielded Cat5e 350 MHz 1000 ft Cable

This shielded Category 5e cable comes in a 1000 ft pull-box and is rated to 350 MHz. It uses 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors with a PVC jacket and meets ROHS, CE and ETL compliance. The blue jacket aids visual identification in structured cabling jobs.

Suited For Standard Cat5e Runs Not For Higher

Installers pulling voice, 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-VG, 155 ATM or 622 ATM circuits will find the spec a direct match. The shield helps in environments with EMI concerns. It is not for projects that require certified Category 6 or 6A performance for multi-gigabit Ethernet beyond the rated bandwidth.

350 MHz Bandwidth Rating Decides Fit

The 350 MHz rating is the single figure that determines whether this cable satisfies the design bandwidth. If the link specification calls for a higher frequency class, this reel will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Will this 350 MHz shielded Cat5e cable run at full speed on my older 100BASE-TX network gear?

Yes, the cable supports all Category 5 applications including Ethernet 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-VG and 155 ATM, so it will work with your existing 100 Mbps equipment.

How can I verify the 1000 ft shielded cable is performing to its 350 MHz rating after installation?

Use a qualified cable certifier to test attenuation, near-end crosstalk, return loss and propagation delay against the Category 5e 350 MHz limits; the cable's maximum delay skew is 45.0 ns per 100 m and maximum propagation delay skew is 5.7 ns per 100 m.

Does the 1000 ft blue shielded box include RJ45 connectors or a crimp tool, or must I buy them separately?

The box contains only the 24 AWG solid bare copper 4-pair shielded cable on a reel; RJ45 shielded connectors and a compatible crimp tool are not included and must be purchased separately.
