Network cable STEINMARK CAT5E FTP, indoor/outdoor, gel-filled moisture-resistant, 305 m

STEINMARK CAT5E FTP network cable on a 305 m reel is designed for indoor and outdoor installations where moisture resistance and basic shielding are required. The cable uses foil-shielded twisted pairs (FTP) and is filled with gel to prevent water ingress, providing Cat5e performance for Ethernet connections. It is intended for building backbone runs, exterior drops to junction points, CCTV links and access point connections where protection against moisture and interference is needed.

Advantages

The foil shielding (FTP) reduces electromagnetic interference from nearby cables and equipment while the gel-filled core provides continuous moisture protection in outdoor or damp environments. The 305 m reel format allows long continuous runs without intermediate splices, simplifying installation. Cat5e performance supports standard Ethernet speeds and reliable data transmission for IP cameras, wireless access points and general network cabling.

Suitable for

• Indoor horizontal and riser cable runs within buildings
• Outdoor drops to junction boxes, cabinets or entry points
• CCTV camera links and PoE-supplied devices where moisture protection is needed
• Connecting access points and switches in environments with potential interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (FTP — foil shielded twisted pair)
• Length: 305 meters on a reel
• Construction: gel-filled core for moisture resistance
• Intended installation: indoor and outdoor use (gel filling for damp conditions)
• Typical application: Ethernet networking, CCTV, PoE devices

How to use

Plan cable routes to avoid excessive bending and mechanical stress. Use appropriate outdoor-rated glands or sealed glands at entry points and ensure the cable sheath is protected from direct sunlight and sharp edges where required. Terminate the foil shield at connector or cabinet ground points according to grounding best practices to maintain effective EMI protection. When using the reel, unspool smoothly to prevent kinks; strip the outer sheath and gel carefully and clean conductor pairs before terminating with compatible Cat5e connectors or patch panels.

Usage recommendations

For longest service life, install the STEINMARK CAT5E FTP cable in conduits or protected runs for exposed outdoor sections, ground the foil shield at a single point to reduce interference, and use weatherproof connectors or junction boxes at outdoor terminations. Avoid prolonged UV exposure of the outer sheath and follow local installation codes for network and outdoor cable installations.
