BlackBox, EVNSL60BL-0020, CAT5 Shielded Twisted-Pair Cable with Snagless Boots, T568B, 4-Pair, RJ-45, Stranded, PVC, CMR, Riser, Blue, 20-ft
Regular unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable is fine for most sites. It’s useful where the electronic-noise sources might consist of a server or two, a laser printer, a few relatively distant fluorescent lights, and somebody’s old desktop radio. But you know that’s not going to work at your site. Maybe you need to route your network cable next to an elevator, a compressor, a belt-drive motor, or a big bank of fluorescents; places where the electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference (EMI/RFI) would wreak havoc with unshielded cable. Or maybe you need to run cable through Intensive Care, or close to sensitive detection equipment. Unshielded cables could themselves cause harmful interference in these applications. Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) Cables are tailor-made for these environments. The wires that carry data through these cables are surrounded by a shielding layer of aluminum-polyester foil that keeps outside noise out and intrinsic noise in, along with a drain wire that diverts interference to ground. Even the cable plugs are shielded!
These four-pair cables meet or exceed all Category 5 standards. They’re ready for your 100-Mbps data traffic. And, although there is no definitive EIA/TIA standard for STP cabling, these cables are also built, pinned, and paired to match every part of the EIA/TIA-568 UTP specifications.
Typical Application
Run 100BASE-TX cable closer to factory floors, labs, or your airport’s generators and X-ray machines than you thought possible.
