The JBX60524 20ft Cat5e FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable represents the ideal solution for network installations demanding superior performance and reliability. Built with professional-grade materials and construction, this cable delivers the performance characteristics required for modern network environments while maintaining exceptional durability. Key Features & Specifications: This Cat5e FTP cable incorporates foiled twisted pair shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring clean signal transmission even in electrically noisy environments. The 26AWG oxygen-free copper conductors exceed 99.95% purity, providing optimal conductivity and minimal signal loss over the 20-foot length. The snagless booted design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, while the riser-rated OFNR jacketing ensures compliance with fire safety standards. Perfect for Various Applications: Whether upgrading your home office network, connecting gaming consoles, or installing enterprise-grade network infrastructure, this cable provides reliable 1GB data transmission rates. The shielding makes it particularly valuable in environments with high electromagnetic activity, such as near industrial equipment, radio transmitters, or areas with dense network infrastructure. Built to Last: With a lifetime limited warranty and proven durability across operating temperatures from -20 to +75°C, this cable withstands both demanding installations and long-term use. Manufactured to TIA/EIA Category 5e standards and RoHS/EU directive compliant, it meets stringent quality and environmental requirements. Convenient & Cost-Effective: Shipped from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, South Carolina), this cable qualifies for free standard shipping on orders over $99. Available in custom lengths for specific project requirements, providing flexibility beyond the standard 20ft option. Technical Advantages Over Alternatives: Unlike unshielded cables, the FTP shielding provides superior protection against crosstalk and external interference, making it ideal for installations near power lines or wireless equipment. The straight-through polarity and RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with all standard network devices, while the 4.0mm outer diameter provides excellent balance between flexibility and durability for wall-mounted or conduit installations.
