Shielded Cat 5E patch cord

This three-foot blue cable carries a Cat 5E rating with F/UTP shielding and a CMG fire rating. It terminates in two snag-less RJ-45 male plugs and uses a PVC jacket for general-purpose indoor runs. The four twisted pairs support Gigabit Ethernet speeds over short distances.

F/UTP shielding for noise rejection

The foil screen around all four pairs blocks electromagnetic interference from fluorescent lights, power cables or industrial equipment. Unshielded cables in the same tray can suffer packet loss; this construction keeps the link stable without requiring a drain wire or grounded patch panel.

Consistent throughput on long cable runs

Shielding prevents alien crosstalk when multiple cables run parallel for metres at a time, so sustained file transfers hold their negotiated rate. The CMG-rated jacket resists flame spread in plenum-adjacent spaces, maintaining performance where unrated cables would degrade or fail inspection.

Questions about this item

What real-world speed will I see from the Cat 5E rating on this 3 ft cable?

Cat 5E is rated for gigabit Ethernet, so this 3 ft shielded patch cord will carry full gigabit throughput between switches, routers or PCs.

How does the F/UTP shielding affect the RJ-45 connection?

The foil shield wraps all four pairs and terminates at the RJ-45 plugs, giving end-to-end shielding that reduces crosstalk and EMI on the link.

Will the snag-less boots and 3 ft length fit a crowded patch panel?

The snag-less boots protect the locking tabs while the short 3 ft length keeps slack minimal, making it easy to route in dense patch panels or wall plates.
