Cat5e Stranded Sftp Lan Cable

Cat5e SFTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) LAN cable is another type of Ethernet cable designed for local area network (LAN) connections. Here are some key features and information about Cat5e SFTP LAN cables:

Category 5e (Cat5e): Similar to Cat5e FTP, Cat5e SFTP is an enhanced version of the original Cat5 Ethernet cable standard. It supports data transmission at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) and provides reduced crosstalk compared to Cat5 cables. Cat5e is widely used for Ethernet networking in homes and businesses.

SFTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair): The “SFTP” designation indicates that the cable has both a foil shield and an additional overall braided shielding around the twisted pairs. This dual-layer shielding helps protect the cable from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) more effectively than a single layer of shielding.

LAN Cable: As with other LAN cables, Cat5e SFTP cables are used to connect devices within a local network. They are commonly used for connecting computers, printers, routers, switches, and other networked devices.

The additional shielding in Cat5e SFTP cables makes them more robust in environments with a higher likelihood of interference, such as areas with a lot of electronic equipment or in industrial settings. The combination of foil and braided shielding helps provide a high level of protection against external electromagnetic disturbances.
