Shielded Ethernet Cords
The shielding on these cords blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. They send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. For faster data transmission speeds, choose a cord with a higher ethernet cable category. They’re backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or a lower category.
Cords with braid and foil shielding have better protection than cords with only foil shielding, which is especially important for higher transmission speeds or longer lengths of cord. However, the added shielding increases cord diameter and reduces flexibility.

Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cable
- Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion, Data, Interference Shielding
- Continuous Flex
- Insulation:
Shielded: Polyurethane Rubber
Double Shielded: TPE Rubber, except Category 6A is Polyurethane Plastic
Often used in automated applications that require continuous motion such as robotics, this cable sends data between computers, servers, and switches without degrading data transmission. This Ethernet cable is backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category. Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.
Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.
Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding for better protection against signal interference than braid alone. Use it in environments with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors.
Flame rated cable meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test. FT1 cable is suspended vertically during testing. FT2 cable is suspended horizontally during testing.
