technical information
specifications
Category 5e/Class D, F/UTP shielded patch cords shall be
constructed of 26 AWG shielded twisted pair stranded copper
cable with a shielded high performance modular plug at each
end. Patch cord cable shall be available in gray in multiple
lengths, and strain relief boots on the modular plugs shall be
available in multiple colors for additional design flexibility. Patch
cords shall be used in all work area outlets and modular patch
panels. All patch cords shall be compatible with both T568A
and T568B wiring schemes.

TX5e
™
Shielded Patch Cords are a component of
the TX5500
™
Shielded Copper Cabling System.
This end-to-end system provides Gigabit Ethernet
performance with usable bandwidth beyond 100
MHz. With certified performance to the ISO 11801
Class D and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 5e
standards, this system will support the following
applications:
• Ethernet 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet),
1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet)
• 155 Mb/s ATM, 622 Mb/s ATM
• Token Ring 4/16
• Voice/data systems
• Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
key features and benefits
100% performance tested for Confidence that each patch cord delivers specified performance
wire map, NEXT and return loss
Centered de-embedded plug Performs in center of ANSI/TIA-568.2-D component range,
ensuring interoperability and optimum performance
Integral pair manager Optimizes performance and consistency by reducing untwist
at plug
Patented tangle-free latch Prevents snags and provides easy release, saving time on
frequent moves, adds and changes
Slender strain relief boot Provides easy access in high-density applications
Flexible stranded cable 26 AWG stranded copper cable with a nominal diameter of
0.205 inch allows for high density installations and superior
panel cable management
Variety of boot colors Meets individual length and color-coding requirements
and cable lengths for greater system flexibility
Identification Provides identification of performance level, length, and quality
control number for future traceability
Robust construction Plug contact plated with 50 microinches of gold and rated
to 2500 mating cycles
Keyed version available Color-specific keys with positive and negative keying features
mechanically and visually distinguish connections to prevent
unintentional mating with unlike keyed or non-keyed jack
modules, offering network design flexibility, versatility
accommodating discrete networks for enhanced security
Color bands (optional) Snap onto cable, allowing additional color-coding options
RJ45 plug lock-in device Secures plug into jack to prevent unauthorized removal of
(optional) patch cord

*For lengths 1 to 10 meters (increments of
one meter) and 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35,
40 meters, change the length designation in
the part number to the desired length. For boot
colors other than Black, replace BL (Black) with
BU (Blue), GR (Green), RD (Red) or YL (Yellow).
For example, the part number for a 15-meter
patch cord with blue boots is STPCH15MBBU.
**To designate color, add suffix WH (White),
EI (Electric Ivory), IG (International Gray),
BL (Black), BU (Blue), RD (Red), YL (Yellow),
GR (Green), OR (Orange) or VL (Violet)
before -Q in the part number. 25/package.
***For colors other than Red, add suffix
BL (Black), BU (Blue), YL (Yellow),
IW (Off White), GR (Green) to end
of the part number. 10/package.
◊Lengths 1m to 15m or 6 inch to 49 feet are
guaranteed to meet TIA and ISO component
and channel requirements. Lengths greater
than 15m or 49 feet are guaranteed to meet
ISO component and both TIA and ISO channel
requirements.
