The JBX60638 Cat5e FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable represents professional-grade network connectivity in a compact 6-foot length. Engineered for demanding network environments, this cable combines advanced shielding technology with premium conductor materials to deliver reliable performance. **Premium Construction & Materials:** This ethernet cable features a foil and twisted pair (FTP) shielding design that effectively blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) common in office and industrial settings. The conductors are manufactured from >99.95% oxygen-free copper, ensuring superior conductivity and minimal signal loss. With a 26AWG gauge and 4.0mm outer diameter, the cable maintains flexibility while providing durability for frequent connections and disconnections. **Performance & Compatibility:** Designed to Cat5e standards, this cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1GB, making it suitable for standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet applications. The straight-through RJ45 connectors are precision-molded for consistent performance and secure fitting. The snagless booted design provides additional strain relief, preventing accidental disconnection during installation or maintenance. **Durability & Standards Compliance:** Manufactured with OFNR (Riser-rated) PVC jacketing, the cable is rated for use in vertical cable runs between floors while remaining flame-resistant. The cable operates reliably across temperatures from -20°C to +75°C (-4°F to 167°F), making it suitable for various environments. Full RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensures environmental responsibility and safety standards. **Practical Applications:** Ideal for connecting network devices including computers, switches, routers, servers, and network printers. The 6-foot length is perfect for desktop setups, wall-mounted equipment, and standard patch panel applications. The distinctive orange color aids in visual identification and organization of network infrastructure. **Warranty & Support:** Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, ensuring long-term reliability.
