Product Description
Solid core Cat5e external cable, 305m drum, black LDPE sheath. Built for building-to-building links and outdoor IP CCTV camera drops where the run leaves the rack and goes outside.
Construction
- Solid core conductors across all four pairs, not stranded — the right choice for fixed, long-distance runs rather than patch/flex applications.
- LDPE outer sheath for resistance to moisture and general environmental exposure on external routes.
- U/UTP construction (unscreened twisted pair).
- Meets and exceeds TIA Category 5e specification.
Where it's installed
Rated for external use in ducts, on catenary (suspended support) wires, and surface-fixed along external wall runs — anywhere a Cat5e link has to cross open ground or the outside of a building rather than staying inside.
Compatibility
Terminates onto standard Cat5e patch panels and modules; the manufacturer notes compatibility with Connectix Enhanced Category 5 patch panels, modules and networking components for a matched system, supporting consistent Ethernet performance across all four twisted pairs.
Typical use cases
Building-to-building network extensions, external IP CCTV camera links, and long-distance structured cabling runs in commercial and industrial sites.
Supplied as a 305m reel — plan drum count against total external run length and any planned slack at each termination point before ordering.
