StarTech 100 ft CAT5e Shielded Snagless Cable, Blue

When a network run needs distance without sacrificing order, this 100 ft CAT5e shielded patch cable gives you a straightforward path from switch to endpoint. The shielded construction helps reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference in busier electrical environments, while snagless RJ45 connectors protect the latch during installation and later service. At 100 ft, this cable is suited to longer horizontal or equipment-room patching where shorter cords would force awkward routing or add unnecessary couplers. The blue jacket makes it easier to trace and label in racks, closets, and under-floor pathways, which matters when multiple teams share the same infrastructure. CAT5e remains a practical choice for standard Ethernet deployments where stable connectivity and clean cable management matter more than chasing unnecessary complexity. For procurement teams and infrastructure managers, the value is in the balance: a long, shielded, service-friendly cable that supports organized installs and reduces the need for field improvisation. It is the kind of cable you specify when uptime, clarity, and maintenance discipline matter.
