Prevalent use of RJ45 connectors in the stage world has created the need for a road-worthy RJ connector. The patented ProShell converts a conventional RJ45 connector into a robust connector solution capable of repeated connections while maintaining mechanical and electrical integrity. The only solution available that doesn't require specialized connectors at both ends, the ProShell can be used with standard hardware. Developed for any application requiring heavy duty CAT5e cable deployment. Features Belden 7923a DataTuff Twisted pair cable with CAT-5e connector boots to protect locking tabs on RJ45 connector ends. Perfect in the field connecting audio and video baluns, or anywhere a heavy-duty CAT5e cable is needed.
1G Ethernet Max Distance
Laird certifies this Cat5e cable to 525 ft (160 m) for 1G Ethernet and 150 ft (45.72 m) for 10G Ethernet, validated through Bit Error Rate (BER) testing. IEEE 802.3 specifies a maximum of 328 ft (100 m) for Cat5e Ethernet applications; exceeding this threshold risks signal degradation and link failure. Supported signal types-including Ethernet, PoE, and AV-over-IP-each carry distinct distance limitations. Conductor gauge (AWG) affects signal attenuation, power delivery, and usable distance-higher AWG conductors may reduce maximum range. Always consult your application's specifications prior to deployment.
Laird Tech Note: Compliant with all PoE Specs, when installed according to TIA guidelines.
