APPLICATION

Cat5E Gigabit Ethernet Cable - Compliant with ISO/IEC 11801 standards, supports transmission frequencies up to 100MHz, and is suitable for voice and data infrastructure cabling. The product features 24AWG solid bare copper conductors and a high-stability twisted pair structure, ensuring excellent electrical performance and signal integrity.

Multiple models are available: UTP unshielded type, F/UTP overall aluminum foil shielded type, and SF/UTP overall aluminum foil and copper mesh double-shielded type, meeting various electromagnetic environmental requirements. The cable outer sheath can be optionally equipped with special protective layers such as flame-retardant, UV-resistant, oil/hydrocarbon-resistant, and rodent/insect-resistant, providing both mechanical protection and flexibility.

Core features include: • Full series compliant with BS EN 60332-1-2 vertical flame test • Operating temperature range: -30°C to +75°C • Precisely controlled characteristic impedance (100±15Ω) and propagation delay • Strict attenuation, crosstalk, and return loss parameters • Compliant with international cabling standards such as ANSI/TIA/EIA 568

Suitable for data centers, enterprise networks, security systems, and industrial automation scenarios, providing stable and reliable Gigabit network transmission solutions. Customizable flame-retardant ratings and protective performance based on customer requirements, with support for UL/IEC series fire safety certifications.

CABLE CONSTRUCTION

Conductor : 24AWG solid bare copper.

Insulation : PE.

Twinning : Two coloured insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair.

Outer Sheath : Thermoplastic PVC compound.

Outer Sheath Option : UV resistance, hydrocarbon resistance, oil resistance, anti-rodent and anti-termite properties can be offered as option. Compliance to fire performance standard (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, UL 1666 etc) depends on the oxygen index of the PVC compound and the overall cable design. LSPVC can also be provided upon request.

Cat5EF/UTP : These cables have collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape with drain wire.

Cat5ESF/UTP : These cables have double collective shielding of Aluminium/polyester tape & copper wire braid.
