Technical Specifications

1: What is ZORA Cat 5e Shielded Patch Cords?

This is a shielded Category 5e (CAT5e) patch cable designed for environments with electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its shielding layer (foil or braided mesh) reduces signal noise, making it ideal for industrial settings, high-density cabling, or areas near power sources.

2: What are the maximum speed and distance supported?

Under standard conditions, CAT5e shielded cables support Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) up to 100 meters. For short distances (e.g., <30m), they may even handle 10Gbps networks.

3: Does the shielded cable require grounding?

Yes. The shielding effect relies on end-to-end grounding. If devices lack grounding, the shield may introduce interference. Use shielded connectors, outlets, and ensure equipment grounding.

4: Is it compatible with non-shielded devices?

Yes, but shielding effectiveness will decrease. If one end uses unshielded ports, remove the shield or use adapters to avoid grounding issues.

5: How does wire material affect performance?

ZORA cables use oxygen-free copper (OFC) cores for low resistance and minimal signal loss, outperforming copper-clad aluminum or pure aluminum. The outer jacket is flame-retardant PVC/PE, ensuring durability.

6:How to verify cable compliance?

Use a cable tester to confirm all 8 conductors are connected and check shield continuity. Professional tools (e.g., Fluke) can evaluate crosstalk and return loss.

7: Is shielded cable necessary for home use?

Typically no. Unshielded CAT5e suffices for most homes. Use shielded cables only in high-EMI scenarios (e.g., near motors or heavy appliances).
