Network Cable Solarix SXKD-5E-FTP-LSOHFR-B2ca 500m Black

The Solarix SXKD-5E-FTP-LSOHFR-B2ca 500m Black network cable is a Category 5e F/FTP (FTP) cable engineered for structured cabling and reliable Ethernet data transmission. It comes on a 500 meter reel and is sheathed in a low smoke, zero halogen flame-retardant jacket that reduces corrosive gas and smoke emission in case of fire. The cable construction and shielding provide consistent signal integrity for typical local area network setups and point-to-point links inside buildings.

Advantages

This CAT5e FTP cable offers balanced performance and installation safety: twisted pair geometry with foil shielding minimizes crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, while the LSOH FR jacket lowers risks associated with smoke and toxic gases. The 500 m length on a single reel simplifies long runs and reduces the need for joins, and the black outer sheath provides discreet routing in commercial and industrial interiors.

Suitable for

• Structured office and data center horizontal cabling for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet
• Indoor backbone and riser runs where low smoke and flame retardancy are required
• PoE (Power over Ethernet) installations with Cat5e performance requirements
• Point-to-point device connections and network patching in commercial premises

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (Category 5e)
• Shielding: F/FTP — overall foil with individually screened twisted pairs
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen, flame-retardant
• Length: 500 meters on reel
• Color: black outer sheath
• Typical applications: Ethernet up to 1 Gbps, PoE capable

How to use

Install the cable following standard network cabling best practices: route the reel along planned cable trays or conduits, avoid tight bends and mechanical stress, and maintain separation from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. Terminate at both ends with compatible RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks rated for Cat5e and shielded connection types; ensure the cable shield is properly grounded when using shielded connectors. Test each run with a network cable tester to verify continuity, pair mapping, and performance before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

For longer permanent installations, plan conduit and bend-radius allowances to preserve cable performance. Use shielded terminations and grounding where electrical noise is present. Store and handle the 500 m reel to avoid kinks and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
