C2G 14ft (4.25m) Cat5e Snagless Shielded (STP) Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Black

Overview

The C2G 28694 is a 14-foot Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed to provide stable and reliable network connections, especially in environments prone to electromagnetic or radio interference. Its shielded twisted pair (STP) construction helps maintain signal integrity, making it suitable for both professional and home networking setups where consistent performance is essential.

Key features

• Foil shielding around twisted pairs reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, ensuring cleaner data transmission in noisy environments.
• Snagless molded boot protects the RJ45 latch from damage and prevents snagging during installation or cable management.
• Strain relief built into the boot helps prevent cable damage from bending or pulling, extending the cable’s lifespan.
• Durable black PVC jacket blends seamlessly into equipment racks and home setups while providing robust protection against wear and tear.
• 24 AWG stranded copper conductors maintain consistent signal quality for fast and reliable network connections.
• 14-foot length offers enough reach to connect devices without excess slack, ideal for linking desktops, switches, patch panels, or VoIP phones.
• Lifetime warranty from C2G provides long-term confidence in the cable’s durability and performance.
