Description
The Poly Trio 8800/8300 25ft Shielded Network Cable (85X05AA) is a CAT5e RJ45-to-RJ45 shielded Ethernet cable designed for connecting Poly Trio conference phones to the network. The 25-foot length provides enough reach for conference room installations where the network switch or wall port is not immediately adjacent to the table, and the shielded construction reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference — important in AV equipment-dense conference rooms where RF noise is common.
The Telecom Spot Take
Conference room network cables take more physical abuse than typical office patch cables — they run under carpet, around table legs, and get kicked or bent regularly. A shielded CAT5e cable is the right choice here: it handles EMI from projectors and AV equipment better than unshielded cables, and the 25-foot run covers most room configurations without extension. Keep this as a standard spare in your conference room provisioning kit for Trio deployments.
