Cables To Go 28696 Cat5e Shielded Network Ethernet Cable 50 ft Black

Shielded Cat5e cable for interference-prone runs

This 50 ft Cat5e patch cable uses foil shielding with a drain wire to protect data from EMI and RFI on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit links. The 24 AWG stranded conductors and 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 ends are wired to TIA/EIA 568B for reliable throughput. A moulded snagless boot adds strain relief at each connector. UL verification confirms the cable meets Cat5e TIA/EIA standards.

Consistent signal quality over the full length

The shielded twisted-pair construction maintains stable performance across the 50 ft run by reducing crosstalk and external noise that can degrade unshielded cables under sustained load. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation so resistance stays low during continuous traffic. The PVC jacket and moulded boots keep the internal geometry intact when the cable is routed through trays or around corners.

Check connector spacing and shield grounding needs

Verify that the 50 ft length reaches between your switch, router or wall jack without excess slack that cannot be managed. Confirm the equipment at both ends accepts standard RJ45 plugs and that your patch panel or keystone can terminate the drain wire if you require a fully bonded shield path. The black PVC jacket is rated for indoor use only.
