Black Box SlimLine Cat.5e (F/UTP) Patch Network Cable - Shielded High-Speed Ethernet Cable, 50-Micron Gold Contacts, Plenum Rated, 25 ft

The Black Box SlimLine Cat.5e (F/UTP) Patch Network Cable is engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission in challenging environments. Featuring a shielded design with an overall aluminum/Mylar shield, this cable effectively protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring your voice, data, or audio/video signals remain clear and consistent. Tested to 350 MHz and exceeding the standard 100-MHz performance of typical CAT5e cables, it is suitable for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10-BASE-T, and other high-speed applications in both commercial and industrial settings. Its plenum-rated jacket allows safe installation through air ducts, raised floors, and environmental spaces where air quality and safety are paramount. The durable construction includes four twisted pairs with Mylar tape, a drain wire, and an overall shield to minimize signal degradation and maintain network integrity over long runs. The molded slimline boots provide strain relief and enable high-density installations without sacrificing performance or ease of connection. Gold-plated contacts with a 50-micron coating ensure superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the connectors are rated for 750 insertion and removal cycles, offering long-term reliability. This cable is ETL verified to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C2 standards and complies with RoHS regulations, making it an environmentally responsible choice. Designed and manufactured in Taiwan by Black Box Corporation, the SlimLine Cat.5e patch cable combines performance, durability, and safety, making it an ideal solution for modern high-speed networks requiring flexible and reliable cabling options.
