CAT5e UTP 24AWG High Quality Lan Cable 305M PVC

CAT5e UTP Overview:

This Cat5e UTP cable can be used to connect a computer, TV, laptop, media player, bluray player, etc. to the Internet. The cable has an RJ45 plug at both ends, which allows it to be used immediately (plug and play).

unshielded LAN/network cable to connect network components with 2 x RJ45 connectors with length indication on the slimline strain relief with latch protection pair-sequence acc. to EIA/TIA 568B suitable for Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbit) network. An Ushielded Twisted Pair cable is not shielded. If you experience malfunctions, you may want to take a Cat6 S/FTP cable.

CAT5e UTP cable is a type of Ethernet cable commonly used for networking purposes in both residential and commercial environments. It belongs to the Category 5e standard, which specifies the performance characteristics of the cable. Here’s a breakdown of its features:

1. Cable Type:
   • CAT5e UTP cable is classified as unshielded twisted pair (UTP), meaning it consists of twisted pairs of insulated copper wires without any additional shielding. This design helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.
2. Performance:
   • CAT5e (Category 5e) cables support data transmission at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) and are suitable for both Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) networks. They are an improvement over the original CAT5 cables, offering better performance and reliability.
3. Twisted Pair Design:
   • The cable contains multiple twisted pairs of copper wires, typically four pairs. Each pair is twisted together to minimize interference from external sources and from other pairs within the cable. This twisting pattern helps maintain signal integrity over long distances.
4. Conductor Material:
   • The conductors inside CAT5e UTP cable are typically made of solid or stranded copper. Solid copper conductors are commonly used for permanent installations, while stranded conductors are more flexible and suitable for situations where the cable may be moved or bent frequently.
5. Jacket:
   • The cable is enclosed in a protective outer jacket, usually made of PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material. The jacket provides mechanical protection and insulation for the internal conductors.
6. Compatibility:
   • CAT5e UTP cable is backward compatible with older networking standards such as CAT5 and CAT3. It can be used with a variety of networking equipment including routers, switches, computers, and other devices that support Ethernet connectivity.
7. Applications:
   • CAT5e UTP cable is commonly used for a wide range of applications including home and office networking, telecommunications, and structured cabling systems. It is suitable for connecting computers, printers, servers, IP cameras, and other network devices.
