The JBX60074 20ft Cat5e UTP Booted Ethernet Cable is an industrial-strength networking solution engineered for professional installations and enterprise environments. This gray ethernet cable combines superior construction quality with practical design features that make it ideal for connecting computers, printers, network switches, and other IP-enabled devices. Construction and Materials: This Cat5e cable utilizes >99.95% oxygen-free copper conductors in a 24AWG configuration, ensuring optimal signal integrity and minimal resistance. The U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) design effectively manages electromagnetic interference while maintaining affordability. The riser-rated OFNR jacketing provides fire safety compliance and durability, protecting the internal conductors from physical damage and environmental stress. Design Features: The snagless design with booted RJ45 connectors prevents boot deformation during frequent connect/disconnect cycles, a common issue with standard cables. The 4.0mm outer diameter provides excellent flexibility, fitting easily through cable management systems and tight installation spaces. At 20 feet, this cable bridges equipment distances while maintaining full 1GB data transmission capability. Performance and Compliance: Certified to TIA/EIA Category 5e standards, this cable supports gigabit ethernet applications with stable performance across all data rates up to 1000Mbps. Full compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and ELV standards ensures safe, environmentally responsible manufacturing. The straight-through polarity configuration provides standard T568B wiring for universal compatibility. Applications and Use Cases: Perfect for office environments, data centers, educational institutions, and commercial facilities. Use for connecting workstations to network switches, connecting surveillance systems, or extending network reach to printers and access points. The professional gray color complements any business environment. Reliability and Support: Operating reliably across -20 to +75°C temperature ranges, this cable performs in server rooms, outdoor enclosures, and variable climate conditions. Our lifetime limited warranty demonstrates confidence in product quality and durability. Ships free on orders over $99 from multiple US warehouses for rapid delivery.
