Network cable Accura UTP Cat5e 20.0 m gray

Accura UTP Cat5e 20.0 m gray is an unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable designed for data transmission in structured cabling systems. This 20-metre UTP Cat5e cable supports standard Ethernet networking rates and offers a flexible outer jacket that facilitates routing and installation in residential and small office environments. The cable is intended for direct connections between routers, switches, computers, IP cameras and other LAN devices where Cat5e performance is sufficient.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable Cat5e performance for typical home and office networking needs, combining adequate bandwidth for Fast Ethernet and many Gigabit deployments with a flexible sheath that makes it easy to bend around corners and thread through cable channels. Being an unshielded twisted-pair design, it is lightweight and straightforward to terminate with standard RJ45 connectors. The gray jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible runs in many interiors.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers to switches or modems
• Linking desktop computers and laptops to local networks
• Wiring IP cameras and access points within a LAN
• Temporary or permanent office and home network cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 20.0 metres
• Jacket color: gray
• Conductor type: copper (solid or stranded depending on termination; verify before crimping)
• Outer jacket: flexible PVC for easy routing
• Typical use: 100BASE-TX and compatible Gigabit Ethernet links within standard distance limits

How to use

Measure the required run and lay the cable avoiding tight bends and excessive tension. Strip the jacket and arrange the twisted pairs according to the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B) before terminating with RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks. For wall runs or permanent installations, secure the cable with clips or in trunking to prevent strain. Test the link after installation with a network tester to confirm continuity and correct pair mapping.

Usage recommendations

Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference to preserve signal integrity. For runs longer than recommended distances for Ethernet, or where improved noise immunity is required, consider a higher-category cable (Cat6/Cat6a) or shielded alternatives.
