C2G (Cables To Go)
Cables To Go 50ft Cat5e Molded Shielded (STP) Ethernet Network Patch Cable
Best reliable ethernet solution for organized, high-speed home or office networking.
This 100-foot Cat5e patch cable is engineered for fast Ethernet networks supporting demanding voice, data, or video applications. It adheres to all TIA/EIA standards, effectively minimizing impedance and structural return loss across the line. The construction utilizes high-quality copper cable with individually bonded pairs to significantly reduce Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) levels for cleaner signal transmission. Featuring a molded, snagless boot, this cable protects the clips during frequent plugging and unplugging while adding essential strain relief. It is available in black and other colors for easy network organization.

What customers say
Customers highly value this 50-foot Cat5e STP cable primarily for its exceptional reliability and robust construction. The shielded design effectively minimizes interference, making it ideal for demanding environments like server rooms. Users confirm stable network performance across the full length, meeting expectations for consistent gigabit speeds. Positive feedback frequently notes the durable molded boots that protect the connectors, enhancing longevity. While the shielding causes some stiffness, making tight routing slightly difficult, the consensus is that this cable offers excellent value. It is seen as a high-quality solution that reliably solves connectivity issues caused by environmental noise, justifying its cost for users prioritizing signal integrity.
Know before you buy
The snagless boot covers the plastic release clip on the RJ45 connector, preventing it from catching on other cables or equipment during installation. This design also provides essential strain relief to protect the connection point from damage.
Yes, this Cat5e cable is engineered to support demanding voice, data, and video applications. It is built to minimize impedance and signal loss, ensuring reliable performance for standard Ethernet networks.
Bonded pairs maintain consistent twist spacing throughout the length of the cable. This construction significantly reduces Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), which helps maintain a cleaner signal transmission compared to standard cables.
This cable is designed for indoor use. It lacks the specialized UV-resistant or waterproof jacketing required for exposure to the elements, so it should be kept in a climate-controlled environment.
Shielded (STP) cables are designed to protect your data from electromagnetic interference (EMI). If you are running cables near power lines, fluorescent lights, or other sources of electrical noise, shielding helps prevent signal degradation.
