Cat 5e STP
26AWG
If you’re dealing with areas where electrical noise is a concern, Cat 5e shielded patch cords are a great starting point. They’re designed to handle electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring your 1Gbps network speeds remain steady and reliable.
One standout feature is the boot—it’s molded directly onto the plug, making it durable enough to withstand everyday pulls and twists without breaking down. These cords meet key standards like ISO/IEC 11801 and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, ensuring they’re up to the task.
Additionally, if you're sticking with your existing Cat 5e cabling for now, HCI’s Cat 5e Shielded Patch Cords provide a practical upgrade. They support 2.5GBASE-T as long as Alien Limit Signal-to-Noise Ratio (ALSNR) conditions are met. It’s a smart way to boost performance without needing a full system overhaul.
