The JBX60549 7ft Cat5e FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable represents the ideal solution for professional network installations requiring superior signal protection and reliability. This meticulously engineered cable combines advanced shielding technology with premium materials to ensure optimal performance in demanding networking environments. **Superior Shielding & Protection** Unlike unshielded cables, the FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) design features complete foil shielding around all four twisted pairs, providing comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. This is especially critical in environments with heavy electrical equipment, wireless systems, or dense cabling concentrations. **Premium Conductor Quality** Crafted with oxygen-free copper conductors exceeding 99.95% purity, this cable delivers exceptional electrical conductivity and minimizes signal loss over its 7-foot length. The 26AWG gauge provides the perfect balance between durability and flexibility for various installation scenarios. **Performance & Compliance** Fully compliant with TIA/EIA Category 5e standards, this cable supports gigabit ethernet speeds up to 1GB, making it suitable for modern networking demands. It meets RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and EU directive 2002/95/EC requirements, ensuring environmental responsibility and safety standards. **Professional Design Features** The snagless booted RJ45 connectors minimize installation frustration while protecting the cable during routing through conduits and tight spaces. The 4.0mm outside diameter provides a balance of flexibility and durability. The riser-rated (OFNR) PVC jacketing is suitable for in-wall installations while maintaining fire safety standards. **Versatile Applications** Ideal for connecting network devices including computers, switches, routers, printers, security systems, and servers. The 7-foot length accommodates most standard installation distances, while custom lengths are available for specialized requirements. **Quality Assurance** Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, this cable represents a long-term investment in network reliability. Ships from multiple US locations (California, Texas, South Carolina) with free standard shipping on orders over $99. **Operating Specifications** Wide operating temperature range from -20°C to +75°C ensures consistent performance across diverse environmental conditions. Whether in climate-controlled offices or challenging installations, this cable maintains reliability.
