Network Cable LYNX REELEX AIR, Cat5E, Wire, PVC, Eca, 305m, Grey

The LYNX REELEX AIR Cat5E network cable is a 305-meter reel of solid wire with PVC insulation and a grey jacket, intended for structured cabling and general Ethernet installations. It is built to support Cat5E performance for reliable data transmission in home and office networks and carries an Eca fire classification for basic reaction-to-fire properties in building installations.

Advantages

This Cat5E cable offers stable signal integrity for typical Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium runs, provided correct termination and installation practices are followed. The solid conductor construction reduces attenuation and is suited to fixed horizontal or backbone cabling. The PVC outer sheath delivers mechanical protection and a professional appearance while the Eca rating aligns the cable with common commercial and residential indoor requirements.

Suitable for

• Structured horizontal cabling in offices and homes
• Patch panels and wall outlet terminations using RJ45 connectors
• Ethernet networks up to Cat5E specification (e.g., 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T over appropriate distances)
• Permanent link installations where a solid conductor is preferred

When it may not be suitable

The cable is not intended for outdoor buried installations or areas with direct UV exposure, as the PVC jacket is designed for indoor use. For environments requiring higher resistance to fire, lower smoke emissions, or plenum-rated cabling, choose cables with more stringent certifications than Eca.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5E
• Conductor type: Solid wire
• Insulation/jacket material: PVC
• Fire performance class: Eca
• Length on reel: 305 m
• Color: Grey
• Suitable termination: RJ45 (8P8C) connectors for Cat5E

How to use

Measure and unspool the required length from the 305 m reel and route the cable following building pathways, avoiding sharp bends and sources of electrical interference. Terminate the solid conductors with appropriate RJ45 connectors or punch down to keystone jacks/patch panels rated for solid Cat5E cable. Test each run with a cable tester to verify continuity, pair assignment, and performance within Cat5E limits.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm Cat5E performance meets your network speed and distance requirements.
• Ensure indoor PVC and Eca rating are suitable for your building code and environment.
• Verify whether solid conductor cable is appropriate for your termination points and hardware.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter, avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines, and use a certified tester after installation. Store the reel horizontally and avoid crushing the cable during handling to preserve performance.
