Cable EMOS FTP CAT5e KO/FTP5/LSZH/E 4x2x0.48 mm solid copper LSZH insulation

EMOS FTP CAT5e KO/FTP5/LSZH/E is a shielded Category 5e Ethernet cable with four solid copper conductor pairs (4x2x0.48 mm) and LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) insulation. The foil shield around the pair assembly reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, providing stable signal transmission for fixed installations in offices, server rooms and structured cabling systems. Solid conductors ensure reliable termination in patch panels and keystone jacks where runs are permanent.

Advantages

The FTP shielding improves immunity to external noise sources and minimizes internal pair-to-pair crosstalk. Solid copper conductors deliver consistent electrical performance and mechanical stability for wall-mounted and in-ceiling cabling runs. LSZH insulation limits toxic fumes and corrosive gases in the event of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor environments with stricter safety requirements. The cable meets Category 5e performance characteristics for typical Ethernet applications up to 1 Gbps over appropriate distances.

Suitable for

• Structured building cabling in offices and commercial spaces
• Server room horizontal and backbone links
• Fixed in-wall and in-ceiling Ethernet installations
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Conductor: solid copper, 4 pairs, 0.48 mm diameter per conductor
• Cable category: Category 5e (FTP — foil shielded twisted pairs)
• Insulation: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Shielding: overall foil shield around the twisted pairs
• Application: data and network installations up to Category 5e performance

How to use

Install the cable as fixed wiring within walls, ceilings or cable trays, maintaining proper bend radius and separation from power lines to avoid interference. Strip outer jacket and foil shield carefully to expose pairs for termination, and use compatible RJ45 keystone jacks or patch panels designed for solid conductors. Ensure correct pair orientation and follow standard wiring schemes (T568A/T568B) during termination. Test each run with appropriate cable certification or continuity testers to verify performance and identify faults before commissioning the network.

Usage recommendations

For best results, route this solid-conductor FTP cable in permanent installations where minimal movement is expected; avoid using it for patch cords or frequent flexing. Maintain recommended bend radius, keep the foil shield intact until termination, and perform end-to-end testing after installation. Use LSZH cable in indoor areas where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required by safety regulations.
