25 ft Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable

This 25 ft Cat6 shielded Ethernet cable provides EMI/RFI shielding for Gigabit networks. Molded RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission. The 4-pair 24 AWG stranded STP construction includes a drain wire for added protection. It is wired to TSB 568B (AT&T 258A) standard.

Shielded STP with Drain Wire

The single specification that determines suitability is the shielded twisted-pair construction with a drain wire. This design blocks electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference that can degrade performance in electrically noisy environments. Unshielded cables lack this protection and may suffer errors near power lines or equipment.

Installations Requiring EMI Protection

This cable suits installers running links near fluorescent lighting, motors or industrial machinery where shielding is essential. It also fits home or office runs that demand extra durability from the molded boot and gold contacts. Buyers needing longer or shorter lengths should select a different cable. Those requiring outdoor-rated or plenum-rated jackets must choose a specialised product.

Questions about this item

What does the Cat 6 rating mean for real-world network speed?

The Cat 6 rating supports gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps over the full 25 ft length when connected to compatible hardware.

How does the TSB 568B wiring standard affect compatibility?

TSB 568B wiring follows the AT&T 258A pinout, so the cable works with standard routers, switches and network cards that expect the common 568B arrangement.

Will the shielded RJ45 connectors and 24 AWG stranded conductors fit a standard keystone jack or wall plate?

Yes, the molded shielded RJ45 plugs use the standard 8P8C form factor and the 4-pair 24 AWG stranded STP with drain wire terminates in a regular keystone or wall-plate port.
