LANBERG LCS5L-11CU-0305-S SFTP Cat.5e Network Cable 305m Copper LSZH Gray

The LANBERG LCS5L-11CU-0305-S is a professional-grade SFTP Category 5e network cable engineered for high-performance data transmission in demanding environments. This 305-meter bulk cable features solid copper conductors that provide superior conductivity and signal stability compared to copper-clad alternatives. The SFTP shielding design offers robust protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable network connectivity even in areas with high electronic noise. Encased in a halogen-free LSZH jacket, this cable is designed to minimize smoke and toxic emissions in the event of fire, making it a safer choice for indoor installations.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this cable lies in its high-quality construction, utilizing pure copper conductors that support consistent data speeds and long-term reliability. The SFTP shielding effectively isolates data signals from external interference, which is critical for maintaining network integrity in office buildings or industrial settings. Furthermore, the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket provides enhanced safety compliance for modern building standards, reducing fire risks. The cable has undergone rigorous Fluke testing, confirming that it meets strict performance benchmarks for Category 5e standards, giving installers confidence in its operational efficiency.

Suitable for

• Professional structured cabling systems in office environments
• High-speed home network installations
• Data centers and server rooms requiring interference protection
• Buildings with strict fire safety regulations
• Long-distance network runs where signal integrity is paramount

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the most cost-effective solution for simple, short-distance home connections where unshielded UTP cabling would suffice. Additionally, due to its rigid solid copper core, it is not intended for use as a patch cable or in applications requiring frequent bending and movement.

Key specifications

• Category: 5e
• Shielding: SFTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Conductor material: Solid copper
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 305 meters
• Color: Gray

How to use

To install this cable, measure the required length and cut it carefully using appropriate cable cutters. Strip the outer LSZH jacket using a professional stripping tool, ensuring the internal twisted pairs remain intact. Terminate the ends using compatible RJ45 connectors or punch-down keystone jacks designed for solid core Category 5e cable. Ensure that the shielding is properly grounded at the patch panel or equipment end to maximize the effectiveness of the SFTP protection. Always maintain proper bend radii during installation to prevent damage to the internal conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your networking equipment supports shielded cabling for proper grounding
• Verify that the installation environment requires LSZH compliance
• Confirm that you have the necessary tools for terminating solid core copper cable
• Calculate the total length required to ensure the 305-meter spool is sufficient for your project

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running this cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to prevent potential signal degradation. Always use high-quality, shielded connectors to maintain the integrity of the SFTP shielding throughout the entire network path.
