Network Cable Solarix SXKD-5E-UTP-PE RJ45 CAT5E 100m Black

The Solarix SXKD-5E-UTP-PE RJ45 CAT5E 100m Black is an outdoor-rated unshielded twisted pair network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections over moderate distances. With a 100 m length and Category 5e performance, this cable supports data transmission up to 1 Gbps and is finished with a polyethylene (PE) outer jacket for improved resistance to weather and UV exposure. The cable is intended for outdoor routing where a compact, flexible CAT5e solution with standard RJ45 terminations is required.

Advantages

The PE jacket provides enhanced protection against moisture, sunlight and physical abrasion compared to standard indoor cables. As a CAT5e UTP cable, it offers gigabit-capable throughput for everyday networking needs while maintaining low attenuation and consistent pair performance. The black outer sheath reduces visible wear and is suitable for installations where a discreet appearance is preferred. The cable's construction supports standard RJ45 connectors and common terminating practices for straightforward deployment.

Suitable for

• Outdoor Ethernet runs between buildings or along façades
• Connecting switches, routers and PoE devices at short to moderate distances
• Network extensions to cameras, wireless access points and outdoor equipment
• Temporary or permanent outdoor installations where UV and moisture resistance are required

How to use

Route the cable along the chosen outdoor path, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Use appropriate outdoor cable clips, conduits or trays to secure the run and protect it from mechanical damage. Terminate both ends with RJ45 connectors or use outdoor-rated keystone jacks and enclosures; ensure correct pair ordering and test the link with a network tester after installation. For runs crossing different environments (indoor/outdoor), transition the cable through protective entry grommets or junction boxes to maintain the integrity of the installation.

Usage recommendations

Do not bury the cable directly unless it is specified for direct burial; use conduit where long-term ground contact is possible. Keep separation from high-voltage power lines to avoid interference and follow local cabling standards for outdoor network installations. Verify PoE power and temperature ratings of connected devices when supplying power over the cable.
