The JBX60702 12ft Cat5e FTP Shielded Ethernet Cable represents a professional-quality networking solution designed for businesses and IT professionals who demand reliability and performance. This carefully engineered cable delivers the specifications necessary for modern network infrastructure while maintaining cost-effectiveness. Key Features & Benefits: The cable's construction utilizes 99.95% oxygen-free copper conductors, which significantly reduce signal loss and crosstalk compared to standard alternatives. The 26AWG gauge provides an optimal balance between flexibility and conductivity, making installation straightforward in various environments. The FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding wraps the entire conductor set in a protective aluminum foil layer, offering superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection—crucial in facilities with high concentrations of electrical equipment, servers, or wireless systems. The snagless boot design is a practical innovation that prevents accidental cable disconnection during routine maintenance or equipment relocation. This feature alone reduces downtime and extends cable lifespan. Both connectors are RJ45 type, ensuring universal compatibility with standard network ports on computers, switches, routers, and other networked devices. Technical Specifications & Performance: This Cat5e cable supports data transmission rates up to 1GB, meeting modern networking demands. The outside diameter of 4.0mm provides durability while maintaining manageable installation ease. The Riser-rated (OFNR) jacketing ensures fire safety compliance in building installations, critical for commercial facilities. Operating temperature range from -20°C to +75°C (-4°F to 167°F) accommodates diverse installation environments from climate-controlled server rooms to outdoor enclosures. Compliance & Quality Assurance: Manufactured to TIA/EIA Category 5e standards and RoHS/ELV compliant, this cable meets stringent regulatory requirements. The lifetime limited warranty demonstrates manufacturer confidence in quality and durability. Applications & Use Cases: Ideal for connecting network-enabled devices in office environments, server rooms, data centers, and telecommunications installations. The 12ft length is optimal for moderate-distance connections while minimizing signal degradation. Custom lengths are available for specific installation requirements. Shipping & Availability: Enjoy free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, with fulfillment from strategically located distribution centers in California, Texas, and South Carolina, ensuring rapid delivery. The cable arrives securely packaged and ready for immediate installation.
