Network Cable Belden 1583E UTP Wire CAT5E PVC 305m Gray

The Belden 1583E UTP Wire CAT5E PVC 305m Gray is a CAT5e unshielded twisted pair network cable supplied on a 305-meter reel with a gray PVC outer jacket. Designed for structured cabling installations, this cable supports standard Ethernet data rates for local area networks while providing reduced crosstalk and consistent signal integrity through the cable construction. The PVC jacket gives mechanical protection and basic resistance to abrasion and handling for indoor use.

Advantages

This Belden CAT5E cable provides reliable data transmission for Ethernet networks with design features that minimize near-end and far-end crosstalk. The unshielded twisted pairs are manufactured to Cat5e performance parameters, offering consistent impedance and stable electrical characteristics across the length of the 305 m reel. The gray PVC jacket provides visible identification and practical protection suited to typical indoor wiring paths in offices and residential spaces.

Suitable for

• Wiring Ethernet networks in offices and homes
• Patch panel to switch and switch to workstation connections
• Horizontal cabling within telecommunications rooms and data closets
• Temporary or permanent indoor installations where CAT5e performance is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 305 meters
• Outer jacket material: PVC
• Color: Gray
• Pair configuration: 4 twisted pairs
• Intended use: Indoor structured cabling and patching

How to use

Measure and plan the cable route according to your installation layout, avoiding sharp bends and proximity to strong electrical sources. Strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the four twisted pairs and terminate the conductors with compatible RJ45 connectors or into keystone jacks and patch panels following T568A or T568B wiring standards. Use proper cable management, strain relief, and labeling at both ends. After termination, verify connections and performance with an appropriate network cable tester to confirm continuity, pair integrity, and acceptable crosstalk/attenuation levels.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, maintain bend radii greater than four times the cable diameter, avoid running alongside high-voltage power cabling for extended distances, and use suitable patch panels and jacks rated for CAT5e. The PVC jacket is intended for indoor environments; if outdoor, plenum, or riser-rated installations are required, select a cable with the appropriate jacket material and fire-safety rating.
