The JBX60574 2ft Cat5e FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable delivers professional-grade networking performance in a compact, gray-jacketed design. Built with meticulous attention to quality and compliance standards, this cable is engineered for businesses and IT professionals who demand reliable network connectivity. **Superior Construction & Materials:** This ethernet cable features premium construction with 99.95% oxygen-free copper conductors that ensure minimal signal loss and optimal data integrity. The FTP (foil and twisted pair) shielding provides comprehensive protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making it ideal for environments with high electrical noise. The snagless booted connectors prevent accidental disconnection during installation and daily use. **Performance Specifications:** With a 26AWG gauge and 4.0mm outer diameter, this Cat5e cable supports up to 1GB data transmission speeds according to TIA/EIA Category 5e standards. The straight-through RJ45-to-RJ45 configuration makes it compatible with virtually all standard networking equipment including switches, routers, modems, and network-attached devices. **Durability & Safety:** The cable's riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing meets fire safety requirements for in-wall installation. Operating reliably across a wide temperature range from -20°C to +75°C (-4°F to 167°F), this cable handles demanding environments. RoHS and ELV compliant, it meets strict environmental standards for businesses committed to sustainable practices. **Practical Applications:** The 2-foot length makes this cable perfect for connecting networking equipment in tight spaces—ideal for desktop setups, server racks, network closets, and patch panels. Its compact size eliminates cable management challenges while maintaining full performance capabilities. **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a lifetime limited warranty and eligible for free standard shipping on orders over $99, this cable represents excellent value for professional and consumer users alike. Ships from multiple US locations including California, Texas, and South Carolina. **Why Choose Cat5e FTP:** While Cat6 cables offer higher bandwidth potential, Cat5e remains the industry standard for most business and home networks. FTP shielding provides superior noise immunity compared to unshielded alternatives, making it the smart choice for reliability-critical installations.
