    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.

    Braided Shield—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.

    Shielded Panel-Mount Ethernet Cords

    Often used in labs, storage facilities, and offices, the shielding blocks low to moderate signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. These cords have a flange on the socket end to mount them in a panel cutout. They send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches. For faster data transmission speeds, choose a cord with a higher ethernet cable category. All are backward compatible, so they work in networks that meet the same or a lower category.

    Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cords

    Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. The shielding 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. All stand up to some abrasion.
    Polyurethane Rubber Cord Insulation—Cords with polyurethane rubber insulation resist abrasion better and bend further than cords with PVC insulation. You can use them indoors or outdoors, though you shouldn’t use them in harsh settings. They’re halogen free.
