LAN network cable electro base FTP CAT5E 305 m LSZH Dca

electro base LAN network cable FTP CAT5E 305 m LSZH Dca is a shielded twisted-pair cable intended for Ethernet and general data networks up to Cat5e performance. The cable features an overall foil shield (FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) outer sheath with Euroclass Dca reaction-to-fire rating, making it suitable for indoor environments where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. Supplied on a 305 m reel, the product is designed for structured cabling in offices, server rooms and commercial buildings.

Advantages

The shielded FTP construction improves immunity to external electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity over typical Cat5e distances. The LSZH sheath minimizes hazardous smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire, while the Dca classification provides a recognized level of reaction-to-fire performance for indoor installations. The 305 m reel length reduces the number of joins and simplifies large-run installations.

Suitable for

• Ethernet networks up to Cat5e (100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T limited by Cat5e)
• Office and commercial structured cabling
• Server rooms and data closets with EMI concerns
• Indoor installations requiring LSZH materials and Euroclass Dca

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e performance class
• Conductor: 4 twisted pairs, solid copper conductors
• Length: 305 m reel
• Sheath material: LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen)
• Fire reaction rating: Euroclass Dca
• Typical applications: Ethernet, data networking, structured cabling

How to use

Install the cable following standard structured cabling practices: route the cable along cable trays or conduits, avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, and maintain separation from strong electrical power sources to reduce interference. When terminating, use compatible RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks rated for Cat5e and for shielded cable termination, ensure the foil drain wire or shield is properly connected to the connector/ground. Test each run with appropriate cable testers to verify continuity, pair mapping and performance up to Cat5e specifications.

Usage recommendations

For best results, store and deploy the cable at room temperature, maintain minimum bend radius of four times the cable diameter, and ensure shield continuity by grounding at least one end when used in installations sensitive to electromagnetic interference.
