The JBX60573 Cat5e FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable represents professional-grade networking infrastructure designed for superior performance and reliability. This 1.5ft cable is engineered specifically for short-run connections where space constraints exist, such as patch panels, server racks, network switches, and wall-mounted installations. Construction & Materials: This cable features foil and twisted pair (FTP) shielding that provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). The shielding is particularly valuable in environments with high electrical noise, industrial equipment, or dense cable installations. The cable utilizes 99.95% oxygen-free copper conductors, ensuring superior conductivity and signal integrity. The riser-rated (OFNR) gray jacket provides fire resistance while maintaining flexibility and durability. Performance Specifications: Certified to TIA/EIA Category 5e standards, this cable supports data rates up to 1GB, making it suitable for standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 26AWG gauge provides optimal balance between flexibility and performance. Straight-through polarity ensures compatibility with standard network equipment and wall outlets. Key Features: • Snagless design prevents connector damage during installation and removal • RJ45 to RJ45 connectors for universal compatibility • 4.0mm outside diameter for compact routing • Operating temperature range: -20°C to +75°C • RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliant • Lifetime limited warranty for peace of mind Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for connecting network devices in offices, data centers, server rooms, and home networks. The 1.5ft length is perfect for short connections between equipment, reducing cable clutter and improving cable management. Suitable for patch panels, router connections, switch connections, and printer networking. Shipping & Support: Free standard shipping on orders over $99. Available in custom lengths to meet specific installation requirements. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, and South Carolina) for faster delivery. This cable combines professional-grade construction, proven reliability, and excellent value, making it an essential component for any networking infrastructure project.
