C2G 7ft (2.1m) Cat5e Snagless Shielded (STP) Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Black

Overview

The C2G 28692 is a 7ft (2.1m) Cat5e shielded Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable network connections in environments prone to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Its foil shielding around the twisted pairs helps maintain signal integrity, making it suitable for transmitting voice, video, and data simultaneously. The cable’s length and design make it ideal for short patching tasks such as connecting devices within racks or linking switches without excess slack.

Key features

• F/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring stable data transmission in noisy environments
• Snagless molded boot protects the connector latch from damage during installation and frequent moves
• Integrated strain relief enhances durability by preventing cable fatigue at termination points
• 24 AWG stranded copper conductors deliver consistent signal quality and flexibility
• Black PVC jacket with a 6mm diameter offers a discreet appearance and supports organized cable management
• Lifetime warranty provides long-term confidence in performance and build quality
• Compliance with CE and REACH directives ensures safe and environmentally responsible materials

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to work seamlessly with shielded patch panels, keystone jacks, and network devices that support Cat5e standards. Its shielding makes it a strong choice for installations in manufacturing floors, broadcast suites, server rooms, or any setting where interference could disrupt network performance. The 7ft length fits well for desktop-to-wall-plate connections, switch-to-switch links, or short runs inside racks.

Installation and setup

The snagless molded boot simplifies installation by preventing the latch from catching on racks or conduits, reducing the risk of damage during cable pulls. The integrated strain relief helps the cable withstand frequent moves, adds, and changes without compromising the connection. Its flexible stranded copper conductors make routing easier in tight spaces.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable suits professional environments where network stability is critical despite electromagnetic interference, such as industrial control rooms, commercial offices, and home studios. Its shielding and build quality make it a reliable option for users who need consistent voice, video, and data transmission in demanding setups.
