Shielded Cat5e for Noisy Racks

The Cable Leader 15ft Cat5e Shielded Ethernet Cable uses a shielded twisted-pair design and shielded RJ45 plugs to reject EMI and RFI. It is built for data centres, server rooms and PoE deployments where cables run close to power conductors or dense bundles. The 24AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain signal integrity across the run.

Sustained Gigabit Through Shielding

The cable is tested to 350MHz and supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) under continuous load rather than only in short bursts. Full shielding preserves consistent throughput when adjacent cables or equipment generate persistent electrical noise. The snagless molded boot protects the locking clip during frequent re-patching in dense racks.

Cat5e Standard Practical Limits

The Cat5e standard specifies 100MHz operation; this cable extends headroom to 350MHz for Gigabit links. It does not support 10GBASE-T speeds, which require Cat6a at 500MHz and 100m reach. Buyers needing multi-gigabit or 10GbE performance must select a higher-category cable.

Questions about this item

Will the 350 MHz shielded cable run hot or draw extra power in a 24-hour PoE camera setup?

The passive copper cable generates no heat and draws no power of its own; the 350 MHz rating only describes signal bandwidth, while PoE power travels on the same 24 AWG conductors without added thermal load.

What devices must I already own to use the shielded RJ45 plugs on this 15 ft patch lead?

You need equipment with standard 8P8C RJ45 ports — such as a switch, router, patch panel, PoE injector, IP camera, server or NAS — and a grounded shield path at both ends to benefit from the STP shielding.

Can I mix this Cat5e STP cable with older unshielded Cat5 patch cords on the same 1000BASE-T network?

Yes; the cable meets the Cat5e standard for Gigabit Ethernet, so it interoperates with unshielded Cat5e or Cat5 runs, though the EMI protection only applies on the shielded segments where both ends are grounded.
