Network Cable LYNX UTP Cable Cat5E Wire PVC Dca 100m Grey

The LYNX UTP Cable Cat5E Wire PVC Dca 100m Grey is a 100-metre unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable designed for horizontal cabling in LAN environments. Built to the Cat5E standard, the cable supports data rates up to 1 Gbps for typical Ethernet applications. The outer jacket is made of PVC and rated Dca for fire performance, providing a balance between flexibility, mechanical protection and safety in installed environments. This grey LYNX CS cable is suitable for linking switches, patch panels, wall outlets and networked devices in homes, offices and small commercial spaces.

Advantages

The LYNX Cat5E UTP cable offers stable transmission for gigabit Ethernet over moderate distances and is constructed to meet horizontal cabling requirements. Its PVC jacket ensures physical durability and ease of handling during installation while the Dca fire classification reduces flame spread and smoke contribution relative to lower-rated materials. As an unshielded cable, it is lightweight and flexible, simplifying routing through conduits and cable trays.

Suitable for

• Ethernet networks up to 1 Gbps in homes and small offices
• Horizontal cabling between patch panels and wall outlets
• Connecting switches, routers, IP cameras and networked printers
• Structured cabling in low-EMI environments where UTP is appropriate

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 100 m spool, taking into account service loops and routing path. Strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the four twisted pairs, maintain pair integrity and follow T568A or T568B wiring standards when terminating connectors or patch panels. Use appropriate RJ45 connectors and a quality crimping tool or a punch-down tool for patch panel terminations. After installation, label both ends and test each link with a cable tester to verify continuity, pair assignment and performance.

Usage recommendations

Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference for best performance. For installations requiring enhanced noise immunity or outdoor exposure, consider shielded or outdoor-rated alternatives. Observe local building codes and safety standards when installing cable in plenum or riser spaces despite the Dca rating.
