Tripp Lite N125-025-GY Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable 25 Ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N125-025-GY is a 25-foot Cat6 shielded molded patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and industrial environments. Cat6 shielded patch cables provide 250 MHz bandwidth capacity and include foil or braided shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, making them well suited for runs near electrical conduit, VFDs, or other noise-generating equipment. This cable is sold as a single unit and is a standard tool for network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and IT infrastructure installers working on Gigabit Ethernet networks.

This patch cable is appropriate for use in server rooms, telecom closets, and commercial data installations where shielded cabling is specified. It connects patch panels to switches, wall ports to workstations, or network equipment to equipment racks. The 25-foot length accommodates mid-length horizontal runs within a rack room or between adjacent equipment. It is commonly specified on jobs requiring shielded cabling per network design standards or where EMI mitigation is a project requirement.

Key Features

• Cat6 shielded construction reduces EMI and crosstalk on Gigabit Ethernet runs
• Molded boot design protects the RJ45 connectors and strain relief points
• 25-foot length suits mid-range patch and equipment room runs
• Supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and 10/100 BASE-T applications
• Sold as a single cable unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 shielded patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on Gigabit-capable switches, patch panels, routers, and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage network technicians or licensed data/communications contractors. Shielded patch cables should be terminated to properly grounded shielded jacks or patch panels to achieve full EMI protection — an ungrounded shield can increase rather than reduce noise. Verify that all connected hardware ports are compatible with shielded cable before installation. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for bend radius and routing guidelines.
