C2G 3ft (0.9m) Cat5e Snagless Shielded (STP) Ethernet Network Patch Cable, Gray

The C2G 27240 is a three-foot Cat5e patch cable that brings shielded protection to any network segment where electromagnetic or radio frequency interference might threaten signal integrity. It uses a twisted pair design wrapped in foil shielding, so crosstalk stays low and data flows without the dropouts that can plague open office floors, manufacturing lines, or home studios crowded with electronic gear.

At just 0.9 meters, the cable is long enough for most rack-to-switch or desk-to-wall-jack runs while remaining short enough to keep cabinets neat and airflow unobstructed. Installers often reach for this length when they want to patch between adjacent ports on a patch panel or link a PoE device that sits close to its switch.

The connector includes a snagless boot that covers the latch, which prevents both accidental snags during pulls and the stress that can crack an unprotected clip over time. A jacket formed from PVC surrounds 24-gauge conductors, meeting or exceeding published Cat5e requirements for NEXT and return loss. The gray finish helps technicians trace connections quickly in mixed-color bundles.

Because the cable carries CE and REACH approvals, it fits comfortably into regulated commercial projects as well as residential builds that call for documented materials. Pair it with C2G shielded patch panels or keystone jacks to keep the shielding continuous from end to end and gain full value from its interference-blocking design.

• Three-foot Cat5e patch cable with shielding that limits EMI and RFI
• Twisted pair construction tested for Cat5e NEXT and return-loss performance
• Snagless boot protects the latch and eases cable pulls in dense racks
• 24 AWG conductors enclosed in a PVC jacket finished in gray for quick identification
• CE and REACH compliant for use in regulated commercial or residential installations
• Ideal for short rack runs, desktop connections, or patch panel links where interference is present
