ShiverPeaks Cat 5e 500 m network cable, model 75210-500S, is a solid conductor, unshielded cable supplied on a 500-metre reel for structured cabling and LAN installations. It is engineered to meet Cat 5e performance for Ethernet data transmission, suitable for horizontal runs, patch panels and wall outlets in homes, offices and light-commercial environments. The solid conductor design provides stable terminations for permanent links and in-wall installations where Cat 5e category performance is required.
Advantages
This Cat 5e cable offers consistent electrical characteristics across long runs due to its solid conductor construction, ensuring reliable signal integrity for 100 Mbps and supported Gigabit applications when used within Cat 5e system limits. The unshielded design simplifies installation where additional shielding is not required and reduces material complexity. Supplied on a 500 m reel, the cable is convenient for bulk installations and long horizontal runs, minimising joins and intermediate connectors.
Suitable for
- Structured cabling for residential and office networks
- Horizontal in-wall installations between patch panels and wall outlets
- LAN backbone segments within Cat 5e performance limits
- Permanent links and outlet-to-panel connections
Key specifications
- Cable category: Cat 5e
- Length: 500 m on reel
- Conductor type: solid conductor
- Shielding: unshielded
- Suitable for: Ethernet data transmission up to Cat 5e standard
How to use
Install the ShiverPeaks Cat 5e cable by running the solid conductor cable from the patch panel location to wall outlets or device termination points, avoiding excessive bends and mechanical strain. Terminate the cable on appropriate Cat 5e compatible keystone jacks, patch panels and RJ45 connectors intended for solid conductors, and perform standard certification or continuity tests to verify performance. Use cable management and proper separation from power cabling to maintain signal quality.
Usage recommendations
For best results, follow local cabling standards and installation practices, keep run lengths within Cat 5e limits for required applications, and use compatible hardware rated for solid conductor Cat 5e cable. Avoid environments with high electromagnetic interference where a shielded cable would be necessary.
