Cable Leader 100ft Cat5e Shielded Ethernet Cable / STP LAN Patch Cable, 1 Gigabit RJ45, 350MHz 24AWG Bare Copper, Gray, for Data Center, Server Room & PoE

The Cable Leader 100ft Cat5e Shielded Ethernet Cable (STP LAN / RJ45 Network Patch Cable) delivers a reliable Gigabit wired connection in gray with full shielding for noise-sensitive environments.

Built to the Cat5e standard and tested to 350MHz, it supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T).

The shielding is the point: a shielded twisted-pair construction and shielded RJ45 plug reject EMI/RFI, keeping data clean in server rooms and PoE deployments where cables run alongside power and dense bundles.

Each cable uses 24AWG bare copper conductors in 4 twisted pairs, terminated with shielded 8P8C RJ45 plugs featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts.

A snagless molded boot protects the locking clip. Use it with switches, routers, patch panels, PoE injectors, IP and security cameras, servers and NAS.

Available across the C5104 shielded family in multiple lengths and colors. RoHS compliant; UL & ETL Verified. Backed by the Cable Leader Lifetime Warranty.

FAQ
Q: Do I need a shielded (STP) cable?
A: Choose shielded when cables run near power lines, motors or in dense racks - it reduces EMI/RFI.
Q: How fast is this cable?
A: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) on the Cat5e standard, tested to 350MHz.
Q: Is it good for PoE?
A: Yes - shielding and 24AWG bare copper suit PoE devices, IP cameras and server rooms.
Q: Does it need grounding?
A: For best EMI performance use shielded keystone jacks/panels with a proper ground path.
Q: Which length and color should I choose?
A: Pick length by distance; multiple colors help port labeling.
