LAN cable NETRACK Cat5e UTP CCA, gray, 100 m

NETRACK Cat5e UTP CCA, gray, 100 m is a Category 5e unshielded twisted pair network cable supplied on a 100 m spool. The cable features four twisted pairs with copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors and an outer PVC jacket in gray. It is designed for Ethernet and LAN installations that require Cat5e performance for data transmission at typical home, office and small-network environments.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat5e-level bandwidth suitable for Fast Ethernet and many Gigabit Ethernet scenarios when installed according to standards. Its UTP construction reduces outer shielding requirements and simplifies termination to standard RJ45 connectors. The CCA conductors deliver a lower-cost alternative to pure copper while maintaining acceptable electrical properties for short- and medium-distance patching and horizontal runs. The gray PVC jacket offers mechanical protection and easy visual integration into standard cabling runs.

Suitable for

• Horizontal network cabling in homes and small offices
• Patch panels and patch cords for local area networks
• Structured cabling where Cat5e performance is sufficient
• Voice over IP (VoIP) phones and basic PoE devices with compatible power budgets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Pair configuration: 4 twisted pairs (UTP)
• Length: 100 m spool
• Jacket material: PVC
• Jacket colour: gray
• Suitable frequencies: up to Cat5e standard bandwidth

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 100 m spool, strip the outer jacket carefully, untwist pairs only as much as needed for termination and follow standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B) when crimping RJ45 plugs or terminating on patch panels and keystone jacks. Ensure connectors and tools are rated for Cat5e cables and verify each link with a network cable tester to confirm continuity and pair integrity. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends, excessive tension and sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain signal quality.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, limit runs with CCA conductors to typical horizontal and patch lengths; when longer distances or higher power delivery via PoE are anticipated, consider using pure copper cabling. Follow local building and cabling codes and use appropriate cable management to reduce mechanical stress and maintain performance.
