Belden Cat5e Ethernet Cable, U/UTP, Grey PVC Sheath, 304m, Flame Retardant

A Cat5e cable with DataTwist® technology for excellent performance.

· Fire performance according to IEC 60332-1

This Cat5e cable can be used in horizontal and building backbone applications. It supports current and future Category 5e applications, such as: 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet), 100 Base-T, 10 Base-T, FDDI and ATM.

Cat5 and Cat5e are virtually identical and cannot be told apart by thickness, colour or material. Cat5e cables sometimes have a more durable protective jacket making them suitable for use for many more years than a Cat5 cable. Within the jacket the wiring inside tends to be much tightly twisted making them more resistant to crosstalk.
Cat5e cables are able to support networks that run up to 1 gigabyte per second making them ideal for use within IT where the fast transference of data is essential.
Cat5e cables also have a higher bandwidth of 350 MHz which means they can carry a lot more information from one system to another than Cat5 cables can.

Crosstalk is the electromagnetic interference that occurs between cables when they are close to each other. This interference can lead to errors in data transmission.

Cat. 5e (100MHz) shotgun, 2 x 4-Pair, U/UTP Unshielded, Premise Horizontal Cable, 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors, Polyethylene insulation, PVC jacket, RJ-45 compatible.
