LAN network cable electro base STEINMARK CAT5E FTP for indoor installation, 305 m reel, CPR Class Eca

electro base STEINMARK CAT5E FTP LAN cable on a 305 m reel is a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for indoor structured cabling. It supports Category 5e performance for Ethernet and general data transmission, with foil shielding (FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve signal integrity in environments with potential noise sources. The cable is intended for horizontal runs, patch panels and in-wall installations where consistent data throughput and basic fire performance are required; it is classified as CPR Class Eca for reaction to fire.

Advantages

The shielded FTP construction reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain stable network performance over longer cable lengths. The 305 m reel format simplifies deployment in offices, apartments and commercial spaces by minimising joins and reducing waste. Category 5e performance ensures compatibility with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet over typical run lengths when installed according to standards. CPR Class Eca provides a defined reaction-to-fire characteristic suitable for many indoor installations subject to building regulations.

Suitable for

• Horizontal structured cabling in offices and commercial premises
• Home network installations requiring shielded cable
• Connections to patch panels, switches and routers
• Areas with potential electromagnetic interference from electrical equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: FTP (foil shield with overall drain/ground conductor)
• Length: 305 meters on a reel
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors
• Intended use: indoor installation, in-wall and horizontal runs
• Fire performance: CPR Class Eca (reaction to fire classification)

How to use

Run the electro base STEINMARK CAT5E FTP cable along planned routes avoiding sharp bends and sources of mechanical damage. Terminate the cable on suitable shielded RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks and ensure the foil shield is properly connected to grounding or the chassis at the patch panel end to maintain the effectiveness of the FTP shielding. Observe standard installation practices: maintain proper bend radius, separate data runs from high-voltage power cables where possible, and test each run with appropriate cable certification or verification tools to confirm performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, install using shielded components (shielded patch panels, connectors and cable glands) and connect shielding to a single point ground. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to unshielded power lines for extended distances. Use cable testers to verify continuity, pair configuration, and attenuation after installation; replace any runs that fail to meet Category 5e parameters.
