DIGITUS DK-1516-VH-5 Cat.5e U/UTP Installation Cable, B2ca, 500m

The DIGITUS DK-1516-VH-5 Cat.5e U/UTP installation cable is a professional-grade networking solution engineered for high-performance data transmission in structured cabling systems. This unshielded twisted pair cable is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern building infrastructure, providing reliable connectivity for voice, data, and video applications. With a B2ca fire protection rating, it adheres to strict safety standards, making it an ideal choice for installations where fire safety compliance is a priority.

Advantages

This installation cable offers exceptional reliability and signal integrity for local area networks. The B2ca fire rating ensures that the cable contributes significantly to fire safety in public and commercial buildings by limiting flame spread and heat release. Its robust construction supports consistent performance over long distances, while the 500-meter spool length allows for efficient deployment in large-scale projects, reducing the need for frequent cable splices and ensuring a cleaner, more organized network architecture.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in commercial and residential buildings
• Local Area Network (LAN) installations
• Voice and data transmission systems
• Ethernet network infrastructure

This cable may not be suitable for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, as it is an unshielded (U/UTP) design. It is also not intended for outdoor use or direct burial unless protected by appropriate conduits.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.5e
• Shielding: U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Fire protection class: B2ca
• Length: 500 meters
• Application: Indoor installation

To use this cable, ensure it is installed by qualified personnel according to local building codes and network standards. The cable should be pulled through conduits or cable trays, taking care to avoid exceeding the maximum pulling tension and minimum bend radius specified for Cat.5e cabling. Proper termination at patch panels and wall outlets is essential to maintain the integrity of the signal and ensure compliance with network performance requirements.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the shielding requirements of your specific network environment
• Ensure the B2ca fire rating meets local building safety regulations
• Confirm the total length required for your installation project
• Check compatibility with existing patch panels and RJ45 connectors

Usage recommendations: Always maintain proper separation from power lines to prevent interference and ensure that the cable is not subjected to excessive mechanical stress during installation.
