Is this a shielded (STP) cable?
3
Hi, happy to help! No — this Southwire CAT 5e Plenum cable (Model #56917744) is not shielded (not STP). It is a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) plenum‑rated data cable, which is standard for most CAT 5e installations unless a shielded version is specifically labeled. If we can help in any other way, please reach out to us at consumersupport@southwire.com.
Was this Answer Helpful ? No. The cable jacket is not conductive so therefore does not provide a shield for the twisted pairs. Additionally, since the jacket is not conductive, connecting the jacket to ground has no affect.
