Product Description
Shielded Category 5e Enhanced PVC Network Cable
High-Performance Shielded Ethernet Cable for Data & Voice Applications
The CAT5ESNP4 is a Shielded Category 5e Enhanced Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable designed for extended data transmission and noise reduction in high-interference environments. Featuring dual-layer shielding with an aluminum/polyester tape, this cable is ideal for installations requiring additional protection against EMI/RFI.
Key Features:
✔ Category 5e Enhanced Performance – Supports Ethernet up to 1 Gbps with extended testing up to 350 MHz.
✔ Dual-Layer Protection – Aluminum/Polyester Shielding with a drain wire for added noise immunity.
✔ PVC Inner & Outer Jacket – Ensures flexibility and durability in structured cabling installations.
✔ Industry-Compliant – ETL & UL Verified to ANSI/TIA-568C.2 Category 5e, ISO/IEC 11801, NEC Article 800, and UL 1581 CM Rated.
✔ Color-Coded Conductors – Blue, Orange, Green, and Brown with corresponding white-striped pairs for easy identification.
✔ Compact & Lightweight – Nominal diameter of 0.255 inches (6.477 mm) and approximately 33 lbs per 1,000 feet, ensuring easy handling and installation.
