Extralink CAT5E UTP Networking Cable 50M

The Extralink CAT5E UTP Networking Cable 50M is a 50-metre unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) cable designed for reliable local area network installations. Constructed from four pairs of 24 AWG pure copper conductors with 0.9 mm insulated wire diameter and PE insulation, the cable supports Fast Ethernet (100 Mb/s) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mb/s). The conductor pairs are wrapped in a 0.5 mm PVC outer jacket that provides mechanical protection and weather resistance for outdoor routing and durable indoor use. The product is supplied on a self-unrolling reel for convenient deployment and reduced tangling during installation.

Advantages

This Extralink CAT5E cable combines pure copper conductors and twisted-pair construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable data transmission at 100 and 1000 Mb/s. The PE insulation and PVC outer jacket increase resistance to mechanical damage and environmental exposure while preserving signal integrity. The 50 m length and self-unrolling reel simplify planning and installation for longer cable runs without frequent joins.

Suitable for

• Wired LAN connections in homes and offices
• Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet links
• CCTV camera installations for video and power transmission over copper pairs
• Structured cabling runs where a 50 m length is required

How to use

Measure the required cable run and unroll the Extralink CAT5E UTP cable from its reel. Route the cable through conduits, ceilings or cable trays as needed, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as high-voltage power lines. Terminate each end with RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks appropriate for Cat5e to maintain performance; follow standard T568A or T568B wiring schemes. Test each link with a network cable tester to verify continuity, pair order and wire integrity before powering connected devices.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs under recommended maximum lengths for Ethernet segments (100 metres total including patch cords), separate data cables from high-voltage power lines, and use proper strain relief at terminations. Although the PVC jacket offers mechanical protection, avoid prolonged direct UV exposure if permanently routed outdoors; use additional conduits or protective coverings where necessary.
