Boost your network performance with our CAT5e Shielded Plenum Ethernet Cable, engineered for interference-free Gigabit connectivity in EMI-heavy plenum spaces. Featuring eight 24 AWG solid copper conductors, a full-foil shield with a tinned-copper drain wire, and a low-smoke CMP jacket, this cable ensures reliable data transmission for VoIP, video, and security devices in offices, schools, hospitals, and data centers. This premium cable combines two critical features rarely found together: CMP plenum rating for the highest fire safety standards and full-foil shielding for EMI/RFI protection. With 350MHz bandwidth exceeding ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards and UL/ETL certification, it's the ultimate solution for mission-critical installations requiring both fire safety compliance and interference protection in air-handling spaces. Key Features Full-foil shield (F/UTP) blocks EMI/RFI interference in high-noise environments Tinned-copper drain wire grounds the shield to eliminate crosstalk and static buildup UL/ETL-listed CMP-rated low-smoke jacket for plenum spaces Meets strict fire codes for drop ceilings, raised floors, and air-return pathways Solid bare copper conductors for superior performance and PoE compatibility 350MHz bandwidth exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards Supports Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and 2.5GBase-T Low attenuation for reliable long-distance runs Sequential foot markers for precise measurements Tangle-free 1000ft pull box for efficient installations Ideal for hospitals, data centers, and EMI-prone environments Ideal Applications Plenum LAN backbones in offices, schools, hospitals, and data centers Drop ceiling and raised floor installations in high-noise environments Air-return pathway and HVAC duct runs requiring interference protection Gigabit Ethernet drops for wireless access points and VoIP phones IP camera and security system installations Medical facilities with sensitive equipment and plenum requirements Data centers requiring both fire safety and EMI protection Power over Ethernet (PoE) device installations in plenum spaces Critical infrastructure where reliability is paramount Cable Type & Construction Standard: CAT5e Rating: CMP (Communications Plenum) - Highest fire rating Shielding Type: F/UTP (Foil/Unshielded Twisted Pair) Shield Material: Aluminum foil Pairs: 4 twisted pairs Total Conductors: 8 Conductors Gauge: 24 AWG Material: Solid bare copper Configuration: Solid (permanent installation) Shielding Shield Coverage: Full foil shield Drain Wire: Yes (tinned copper) Ground Function: Eliminates crosstalk and static buildup EMI/RFI Protection: Excellent Insulation Material: FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) Performance: Low smoke, minimal flame spread Performance Maximum Frequency: 350MHz Data Rate: Up to 2.5GBase-T PoE Compatible: Yes Attenuation: Minimized for long-distance reliability Jacket Material: CMP-rated FR-PVC (low-smoke, flame-retardant) Outer Diameter: 5.7mm ± 0.2mm Marking: Sequential foot markers Fire Rating: CMP (Communications Plenum) Smoke Characteristics: Low-smoke for air-handling safety Installation Rating Indoor Rated: Yes (CMP) Outdoor Rated: No Suitable Areas: Plenum spaces, drop ceilings, raised floors, air-return pathways, HVAC ducts Approved Use: Air-handling spaces with high EMI requiring highest fire safety standards Environment: High-noise environments, medical facilities, data centers Packaging Spool Size: 1000ft pull box Design: Tangle-free for smooth cable runs Compliance & Certifications Certification: UL/ETL Listed Standards: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Fire Rating: CMP (Communications Plenum) - Highest rating Environmental Suitability: Plenum environments with EMI/RFI concerns
