Network Cable Solarix SXKD-5E-UTP-PVC UTP CAT5E 100m Black

The Solarix SXKD-5E-UTP-PVC UTP CAT5E 100m Black is a 100-metre unshielded twisted pair network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in residential and commercial environments. Constructed with CAT5E specifications and PVC insulation, this cable supports standard network speeds and provides a durable, flexible solution for horizontal and patch cabling runs. The black jacket offers discreet routing along walls, under floors, and in cable trays.

Advantages

This SOLARIX network cable combines CAT5E performance with PVC outer sheath for mechanical protection and flexibility. The UTP design reduces cost and complexity while remaining suitable for typical LAN applications. The 100 m length reduces the need for joins in longer runs and the consistent construction ensures predictable signal transmission and straightforward termination with standard RJ45 connectors.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections in homes and small offices
• Horizontal cabling between switches, patch panels and wall outlets
• Temporary or permanent installations in server rooms and workspaces
• Cable routing in conduits, cable trays and underfloor channels

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Conductor material: copper (solid or stranded depending on variant)
• Insulation: PVC jacket providing mechanical protection and flexibility
• Length: 100 metres on a reel
• Color: black outer jacket
• Suitable for: 10/100/1000BASE-T networks (within CAT5E performance limits)

How to use

Measure and plan the cable route before installation to avoid sharp bends and sources of electrical interference. Cut the required length from the reel, maintain proper bend radius while pulling, and terminate each end with compatible RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks following standard wiring patterns (T568A or T568B). For long permanent runs, label both ends to simplify maintenance and testing. Test each run with a network cable tester to verify continuity and pair integrity before placing the cable into permanent trays or conduits.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running UTP cable parallel to power lines for extended distances and maintain the recommended minimum bend radius. Use cable management accessories to prevent strain on terminations and follow local building codes for in-wall or plenum installations; if plenum-rated cable is required, select an appropriate alternative.
