The JBX60642 12ft Cat5e FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable combines professional performance with exceptional durability, making it the ideal choice for offices, server rooms, data centers, and home networking applications. Built to exacting standards, this orange-jacketed cable delivers reliable gigabit connectivity while maintaining signal integrity across longer installation distances. **Superior Construction & Materials** Constructed with foil-twisted pair (FTP) shielding, this cable dramatically reduces electromagnetic interference from nearby power lines and equipment. The 26AWG oxygen-free copper conductors provide superior conductivity compared to standard alternatives, ensuring maximum data integrity and minimal signal loss. With 4.0mm outside diameter, the cable balances flexibility with durability for easier routing through cable trays and conduits. **Performance & Reliability** Compliant with TIA/EIA Category 5e standards, this cable supports speeds up to 1GB, making it suitable for modern network demands including VoIP, streaming, and standard office connectivity. The shielded design is particularly valuable in electrically noisy environments where unshielded cables might experience degradation. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion and maintain reliable contact over thousands of connections and disconnections. **Installation & Safety** The snagless booted connector design eliminates snagging risks and simplifies installation, even in tight spaces. Riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing meets building codes for in-wall installations, providing peace of mind for permanent deployments. The distinctive orange jacket improves visibility and organization, reducing troubleshooting time in complex network environments. **Extended Operating Range** With an operating temperature range of -20 to +75°C (-4 to 167°F), this cable performs reliably in diverse environments from climate-controlled offices to unheated storage areas and outdoor equipment installations. **Compliance & Warranty** Fully RoHS and ELF compliant with EU directive 2002/95/EC certification, this cable meets stringent environmental and safety standards. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, your investment is protected for years of reliable service. Ships free on orders over $99 from multiple U.S. locations. **Custom Availability** While this 12ft length covers most standard installation needs, custom lengths are available upon request for specialized applications requiring shorter or longer cables.
