3 foot Shielded Cat5e Black Ethernet Cable, Snag less/Molded Boot. This three foot black shielded Cat5e cable will retain a high quality signal when passing near/parallel to high voltage or power cables. It is ideal for noisy environments and/or environments where interference is expected. This is a black shielded patch cable with molded boots (snag less installation) and extra protection for the RJ45 connector and clip. The connectors are wired to the T568B standard. The individual conductors are 24 AWG (American wire gauge) stranded pure copper. Cat5e patch cables are stranded to improve flexibility. Pure copper conductors provide the best signal possible. The RJ45 plug features gold connectors to prevent corrosion thus ensuring a longer cable life. Our Cat5e Ethernet patch cables exceed the EIA/TIA-568-C standard.
