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 industry designation 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.

Data Communication Cable
- Use For: Data, Interference Shielding
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 175° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Use this cable for complex data and signal transmission, such as in high-speed computers. It has braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. The industry designation is CM and CMG, so it’s approved for in-wall installation and has flame-resistant insulation. It has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.

- Max. Temperature:
Shielded: 175° F
Double and Quad Shielded: 165° F - Insulation: PVC Plastic
Often used in radio transmission, network connections, and digital audio feed, this cable transmits audio, video, and data signals.
RG-6/U cable is good for medium to high frequency transmissions and is often used in satellite signal transmission. RG-58/U and RG-59/U cable are good for low frequency transmissions such as radio signals. RG-62A/U cable is often used in computer networks and electronics. RG-174/U cable has a small diameter, so it’s easy to coil.
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 foil alone. Use it in environments with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors. Quad shielded cable has two layers of braid and two layers of foil for the most protection against signal interference and the clearest signal.
