UltraLAN UTP Category 5e cable. The veins are made of copper-clad aluminum (CCA). The cable is intended for indoor use, with an outer PVC coating. The outer diameter is 5.2 mm, while the vein diameter is approximately 0.5 mm (24AWG). The cable can successfully be used for data transmission indoors. It is sold in a carton containing approximately 305 meters of cable (1000 ft).

Category 5e

The cable meets the requirements of Category 5e, which is currently the most popular category of Ethernet cabling. It supports frequencies up to 100 MHz and is typically used in the 1000BASE-T (1 Gb/s) standard, but it can also handle the 2.5GBASE-T (2.5 Gb/s) standard.

Unshielded Twisted Pair (U/UTP), formerly known as UTP, is not additionally shielded (denoted by "U" - from English "Unshielded"). Individual pairs of conductors are twisted together and placed within a sheath, without additional foils or separators. The conductors are insulated in colored jackets, with the use of colors allowing for the identification of each conductor and termination of RJ45 connectors.

The conductors are made using CCA (Copper Clad Aluminum) technology, where an aluminum core is coated with copper. The average diameter of the conductor is around 0.5 mm (24AWG). Utilizing this technology in production allows for a significant reduction in cable cost without sacrificing functionality. For standard Ethernet transmissions without Power over Ethernet (PoE) requirements, you won't notice any difference between using CCA and pure copper cables. This solution can greatly reduce installation costs.

The offered product has a PVC coating. It complies with the Eca standard (according to the CPR directive) and can be used indoors. However, it is not resistant to UV radiation and moisture ingress, so it should not be used outdoors. The outer diameter of the cable is 5.2 mm, and the coating is appropriately flexible, making it easier to install the cable in ducts.

The product is sold in a cardboard packaging. The cable inside is wound on a reel, which can be conveniently unwound through a specially designed hole. An additional plastic protection shields the cable from mechanical damage and abrasion during unwinding. At the top of the cardboard, there is a handle that allows you to easily carry the box using only one hand. The side wall can be opened, allowing for quick access to the entire cable if needed. Inside the box, there are 305 meters of cable.

UltraLAN cables are originally packed in pairs in sturdy cardboard shipping boxes. When ordering an even number, you will receive the cables in additional packaging, which is well-suited for courier shipments.
