FTP CAT5E Shielded Network Cable, 15m, 250MHz, with Gold-Plated RJ45 Plugs

Product Overview

15m FTP Cat5e Shielded Ethernet Network Cable

The 15m FTP Cat5e Shielded Network Cable is designed for wired Ethernet connectivity in offices, commercial environments, equipment rooms, and home networks. Featuring a blue cable jacket, RJ45 connectors, and foil shielding, this network patch cable provides a practical solution for connecting compatible networking devices over a longer distance.

Key Features

15-Meter Cable Length

The 15-meter length offers flexibility when connecting network equipment located farther apart, such as computers, switches, routers, network cabinets, and wall-mounted Ethernet outlets.

FTP Shielding Design

FTP stands for Foiled Twisted Pair. The foil shielding is designed to help reduce electromagnetic interference when the cable is correctly installed and used in a compatible shielded cabling system. Actual shielding effectiveness depends on the cable construction, connector design, and grounding arrangements.

RJ45 Connectivity

RJ45 connectors provide a widely used interface for Ethernet network connections. The cable can be used with compatible RJ45 Ethernet ports on switches, routers, computers, patch panels, and other network devices.

Gold-Plated Connector Contacts

Gold-plated contacts are intended to support reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance. Actual durability depends on plating thickness, connector quality, and operating conditions.

Versatile Network Applications

This cable is suitable for a range of Ethernet patching tasks in offices, server rooms, network cabinets, and other environments where a compatible shielded network cable is required.

FAQ

Q1. What is an FTP Cat5e network cable?

An FTP Cat5e cable is a Category 5e twisted-pair Ethernet cable with foil shielding. It is designed for wired network connections and can help reduce electromagnetic interference when installed as part of a properly designed shielded cabling system.

Q2. What devices can this 15m RJ45 cable connect?

It can connect compatible Ethernet devices such as computers, routers, switches, patch panels, and network outlets. Check the port type and the cable's specifications before installation.

Q3. Is this cable suitable for Gigabit Ethernet?

Cat5e cabling that meets the relevant performance requirements typically supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over channels up to 100 meters. The actual capability of this particular cable should be confirmed through its manufacturer's specifications or test results.

Q4. What is the difference between FTP and UTP cables?

FTP cables use foil shielding, while UTP cables do not have an overall foil shield. FTP may be preferable in environments with electromagnetic interference, but the installation must account for shielding continuity and grounding. UTP can be a suitable, cost-effective option for ordinary office networks.

Q5. Does the cable support 250 MHz?

The supplied product description specifies 250 MHz. However, Cat5e is conventionally rated at 100 MHz, whereas 250 MHz is the standard bandwidth rating associated with Cat6. Request the manufacturer's datasheet or test report to verify the claimed 250 MHz performance.

Q6. Are the RJ45 contacts gold-plated?

The product description identifies gold-plated RJ45 plugs. For projects requiring a specific contact plating thickness or durability standard, confirm the detailed connector specifications with the supplier.

Q7. Can I order this cable in bulk?

Bulk purchasing can be arranged subject to stock availability and supplier terms. Contact the sales team to confirm quantities, unit pricing, lead time, packaging, and shipping options.

Q8. What after-sales support is available?

Before ordering, confirm the product specifications, connector type, length, and compatibility. If the delivered cable does not match the confirmed order, provide the order number, product label, and clear photos to the supplier for review. Warranty coverage, return eligibility, and replacement arrangements should be confirmed at the time of purchase.
