Outdoor Rated (CMX) CAT5e Shielded Patch Cable, 22.86 m
Shielded cable protects sensitive equipment from electrical surges caused by lightning and ESD from wind. The shield provides a path to ground for electrical energy instead of through the electronics. Shielded cables need to be grounded to be effective. Normally this ground is through the shielded RJ45 connector on different pieces of equipment like PC's, switches, routers, etc.
