Cat 5e UTP Cable Description
Cat 5e UTP Cable is a four-pair, 24 AWG unshielded twisted-pair cable for Category 5e structured cabling. Category 5e performance requirements cover frequencies up to 100 MHz. A compliant Cat 5e cabling channel supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet over distances of up to 100 meters, provided that the cable, connecting hardware, and installation meet the applicable requirements.
Key features include:
- Four twisted pairs: Eight insulated conductors arranged in four pairs for structured cabling.
- Unshielded construction: No foil or braided shield around the pairs or cable core.
- Copper conductors: Nominal conductor diameter of 0.51 mm, approximately 24 AWG.
- PE insulation and PVC jacket: The listed construction uses polyethylene conductor insulation and a PVC outer jacket.
- Color options: Please confirm the available jacket colors when ordering.
Cat 5e UTP Cable Applications
- High-speed Data Transmission: Supports up to 1000Mbps for efficient data transfer in various applications.
- Voice Communication: Ideal for transmitting clear voice signals in telecommunication systems.
- Video Signal Transmission: Suitable for streaming or broadcasting video signals with stable performance.
- Networking: Commonly used in Ethernet networks, including D-level links and Cat 5e installations.
- High-end Applications: Meets the demands of high-performance environments where reliable and fast transmission is required.
- Structured Cabling Systems: Perfect for structured cabling setups in offices, homes, and commercial buildings.
- Security Systems: Used in video surveillance and alarm systems for high-quality signal transmission.
