Getting Connected With Shielded Cat5
Most people do not put a lot of consideration into selecting the right type of cabling for their data and voice applications. And while it is true that in most cases the most important thing to keep in mind is getting the right length, there are other important factors as well, such as the quality of the signal. In most cases, 25 feet is enough length, though 50 feet to 150 feet options are available if necessary. For $16 to $20 you can get 25 feet with RJ11 connections from L-com Connectivity Products, which is a fairly standard price.
Typically, Shielded Cat5 cable will come in gray or black but it is also available in blue. CablesToGo makes a special 3 foot option for that want the bare minimum and do not wish to have extra cords visible. This special molded patch cable comes with the standard RJ11 connectors for voice and date purposes and is available for $6.50. If you are in need of special lengths that are not availabe to purchase, you can get RJ45 modular plugs from CablesToGo as well. They are available in packages of 50 for $55.99, so they are ideal for those that need a large amount of specific lengths. Platinum Tools also provides these, and their industrial grade EZ-RJ45 connectors can be purchased at $60 for a package of 50.
Sometimes there is a problem with interference when using Shielded Cat5 cables, though Gefen has set out to fix this. Their CAB-CAT5S-030 cables are designed to provide the most clear signal transmission available, and can be purchased in lengths of 30 feet for $18.95 or 150 feet for $63. In other words, these are the industrial and commercial grade types for those that cannot afford to have a less than perfect quality signal.

So whether you are in need of a tiny 3 foot cord for your connection or you are after an industrial strength, 150 foot connection, there is a Shielded Cat5 cable available. Thanks to manufacturers like Gefen the strength and quality of the transmission signal is only increasing, and with the optional modular RJ45 connectors, getting the exact length that you need is incredibly easy. |
