The JBX60515 Cat5e FTP shielded ethernet cable is an essential component for professional network installations requiring enhanced protection and reliability. At 3 feet in length, this cable is perfect for connecting network devices in server rooms, network cabinets, wall-mounted equipment, and patch panel setups. **Superior Construction & Materials:** Manufactured with >99.95% oxygen-free copper conductors, this cable ensures minimal signal loss and maximum data integrity. The copper connectors provide superior conductivity compared to standard alternatives. The riser-rated OFNR jacketing meets strict fire and safety codes, making it suitable for plenum and enclosed spaces. **FTP Shielding Technology:** The foiled twisted pair shielding design protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This makes it ideal for installations near power lines, fluorescent lighting, wireless equipment, or other potential EMI sources. The shield effectively grounds interference, ensuring clean, stable network signals. **Performance & Standards:** Supporting 1GB data transfer rates, this Cat5e cable meets TIA/EIA Category 5e standards and surpasses baseline performance requirements. The 26AWG gauge provides optimal balance between flexibility and signal carrying capacity. Straight-through polarity configuration ensures compatibility with standard network equipment. **Installation & Design Features:** The snagless booted design prevents accidental unraveling during installation and provides strain relief. The compact 4.0mm outer diameter fits seamlessly into cable ducts, conduit, and wall-mounted cable management systems. The 3-foot length offers ideal spacing for equipment in close proximity while minimizing excess cable. **Compliance & Reliability:** RoHS/ELV compliant, this cable meets EU directive 2002/95/EC environmental standards. Built for harsh conditions, it operates reliably from -20°C to +75°C (-4°F to 167°F). The lifetime limited warranty reflects manufacturer confidence in product durability and performance. **Perfect For:** Network server connections, data centers, network cabinets, telecommunications closets, patch panel configurations, and any installation requiring EMI-protected network connectivity. Whether you're building a new network infrastructure or upgrading existing installations, this cable delivers professional-grade performance at competitive pricing. Free standard shipping on orders over $99 makes it an excellent value.
