About Wire and Cable

Ethernet Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Data; Category 3 can also be used for Telephones
Shielded, Double Shielded: Data, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches in an office or workstation. This cable is backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category. Choose cable with a higher ethernet cable category for a clearer signal.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.
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.

Duct-Rated Ethernet Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Data
Shielded: Data, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Also known as plenum cable, this CMP cable has flame-resistant, low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. Use it to send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches in an office. It’s backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category. Choose cable with a higher ethernet cable category for a clearer signal.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.

Oil-Resistant Ethernet Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Data
Shielded: Data, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Max. Temperature: 165° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Transmit data in rough industrial applications. An additive in the PVC insulation gives this cable excellent resistance to oil and UV light. It’s backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Duct-Rated Oil-Resistant Ethernet Cable
- Use For: Data
- Flexible
- Max. Temperature: 300° F
- Insulation: FEP Plastic
Also known as plenum cable, this cable is designated CMP, so it has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. The oil-resistant FEP insulation protects wires as the cable moves from duct to equipment or machinery. It also resists UV light. It’s backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category.
