Network Cable Solarix SXKD-5E-UTP-PEG UTP 305m Black

The Solarix SXKD-5E-UTP-PEG is an outdoor gel-filled unshielded category 5E installation cable with a UV-stable polyethylene (PE) jacket. Supplied on a 305 m dispenser box with meter markings, this cable is intended for demanding installations where PVC or LSOH jackets do not provide sufficient protection against environmental influences. Designed to meet international Category 5E/Class D standards (ANSI/TIA‑568, ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173), the cable is compatible with structured cabling systems and supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base‑T).

Advantages

The gel-filled core provides enhanced moisture protection for outdoor or direct-burial installations when used with appropriate conduit; the UV-stable PE jacket increases resistance to sunlight and weathering. The cable is meter-marked every 1 m for easier deployment, meets required Category 5E performance up to 100 MHz, and is supplied in a robust three-layer polished cardboard box that includes product information, barcodes and batch data.

Suitable for

• Outdoor horizontal network runs where moisture protection is required
• Direct-burial installations when used together with HDPE conduit
• Structured cabling backbones and horizontal links supporting 1000Base‑T
• Environments with UV exposure requiring a weather-resistant jacket

How to use

Install the Solarix SXKD-5E-UTP-PEG for horizontal or outdoor cabling runs as part of a structured cabling system. For direct-burial applications, route the cable inside a suitable HDPE conduit as recommended. Terminate and test according to standard cabling practices for Category 5E/Class D to ensure correct performance and compliance. Follow meter markings on the cable to measure and cut the required lengths.

Usage recommendations

When installing outdoors or in the ground, always use appropriate HDPE conduit for additional mechanical protection; avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius and perform post-installation testing to verify link performance.
