C2G 100ft (30.5m) Cat5e Snagless Shielded (STP) Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Blue

Overview

The C2G 28707 is a 100-foot Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable network connections over long distances. Its shielded twisted pair (STP) construction minimizes electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, ensuring clean data transmission in environments with electronic noise. The cable’s blue jacket simplifies identification in complex setups, making it suitable for industrial, medical, office, and home networking applications.

Key features

• Shielded foil wrap around twisted pairs reduces interference from motors, fluorescent lights, and broadcast equipment, maintaining signal integrity.
• Snagless molded boots protect the RJ-45 connectors and prevent latch damage during installation or cable management.
• 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide a balance of flexibility and durability for easier routing and long-term use.
• Durable PVC jacket with a 6 mm diameter offers protection against physical wear while maintaining manageable cable thickness.
• Tested to exceed TIA/EIA-568B standards for near-end crosstalk and return loss, supporting Fast Ethernet and Gigabit speeds without signal degradation.
• Blue outer jacket allows quick cable tracing in racks, trays, and crowded network environments.
• UL verified and backed by a lifetime warranty, giving confidence in long-term performance and reliability.
