Product Description
Key specs
Category 5e U/UTP cable, unshielded twisted pair construction, in a 1 metre length for patching runs.
- Conductors: solid copper, for stable Ethernet signal and efficient PoE power delivery to powered endpoints
- Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) — reduces smoke and gas emission in a fire, suited to enclosed comms rooms and data racks
- Throughput: supports 10/100/1000 Mbps — Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet
- Termination: RJ45 connectors, patch panels, keystone jacks
- Jacket colour: purple, for cable management and circuit identification within a rack or containment run
Application notes
As a solid-copper Cat5e U/UTP patch lead, this is intended for short fixed runs between switch, patch panel and endpoint — typical use cases include patching data cabinets, structured LAN cabling, and network drops for IP CCTV cameras. The unshielded pair construction is standard for Cat5e and suits normal office, data centre and comms room environments.
The LSZH sheath is the point of note for anyone specifying to fire-safety requirements: it's intended for installation in enclosed public environments — offices, schools, hospitals, data centres — where smoke and halogen gas emission in a fire scenario is a design consideration. Colour-coding with the purple jacket helps distinguish this run from other cable types or VLANs across a populated patch panel or rack.
