UTP twisted pair computer cable INNE 4x2/0.5 CCA — network patch/data cable

INNE UTP twisted pair computer cable 4x2/0.5 CCA is an unshielded network patch/data cable intended for Ethernet and general data transmission in local area networks. The cable contains four twisted pairs with 0.5 mm copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors and standard UTP construction, making it suitable for typical office and home installations, patch panels and short to medium patch runs between devices.

Advantages

This UTP cable offers a cost-effective alternative to solid copper cables by using copper-clad aluminum conductors while maintaining a standard four-pair twisted configuration for balanced signal transmission. The unshielded design simplifies installation in non-noisy environments and is compatible with common RJ45 terminations and patch panel connections. Its flexible construction aids routing through conduits and cable trays in residential and office settings.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections in home and small office networks (short to medium distances)
• Patching between switches, routers, modems and wall outlets
• Connecting devices to patch panels and keystone jacks
• General data transmission in environments without strong electromagnetic interference

When it may not be suitable

The cable uses copper-clad aluminum conductors, which can have higher resistance and different mechanical properties than pure copper; this may limit maximum reliable run length and current carrying capacity compared with solid copper cables. It is not intended for environments with significant electromagnetic interference where shielded cable types would be preferable.

Key specifications

• Conductor: copper-clad aluminum (CCA)
• Number of pairs: 4 twisted pairs
• Conductor diameter: 0.5 mm
• Construction: unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Typical applications: Ethernet and data patching in LANs

How to use

Prepare cable ends by stripping outer jacket to expose the four twisted pairs, untwist each pair minimally and terminate with compatible RJ45 plugs or punch down onto keystone jacks/patch panels following T568A or T568B wiring standard. Use appropriate RJ45 connectors rated for CCA conductors or apply proper crimping tools to ensure secure mechanical and electrical contact. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; secure with cable ties or fasteners as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended run length and whether CCA conductor resistance is acceptable for your installation
• Compatibility of RJ45 connectors and terminations with CCA conductors
• Environmental conditions — avoid areas with heavy electromagnetic interference or outdoor exposure unless additional protection is used

Usage recommendations

Use this INNE UTP 4x2/0.5 CCA cable for economical internal patching and short-run Ethernet connections in homes and small offices, and follow proper termination practices and wiring standards to maintain reliable network performance.
