CAT5e UTP Network Cable - 100M

CAT5e UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Network Cable is a commonly used Ethernet cable that is designed to transmit data at speeds up to 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps).

Category 5e: CAT5e is an enhanced version of the original CAT5 cable and is widely used for Ethernet networking. It supports higher data transfer rates and provides better performance and reliability compared to CAT5.

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP): The cable consists of four pairs of twisted copper wires. It has no additional shielding, making it flexible and easy to install. However, it may be more susceptible to electrical interference compared to shielded cables.

Length: The cable length is 100 meters, which is a standard length for many networking applications. It allows for connectivity over longer distances without significant signal degradation.

RJ-45 Connectors: The ends of the CAT5e UTP cable are terminated with RJ-45 connectors. These connectors are widely used in Ethernet networking and are compatible with most network devices, such as routers, switches, and computers.

Data Transmission: The CAT5e UTP cable supports data transmission at speeds up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) over a distance of 100 meters. It is suitable for various network applications, including home and office networks, LAN (Local Area Network) connections, and other Ethernet-based systems.

Compatibility: The CAT5e UTP cable is backward compatible with previous Ethernet standards like CAT5. This means it can be used in networks that have older devices or are designed for lower speeds, although the maximum speed will be limited to the capability of the least capable component.

Colour Coding: CAT5e UTP cables often follow the TIA/EIA-568-B standard for color coding, where the wires in each pair are color-coded and twisted together. The common color-coding scheme is as follows: Pair 1 - Blue and White/Blue, Pair 2 - Orange and White/Orange, Pair 3 - Green and White/Green, Pair 4 - Brown and White/Brown.

CAT5e UTP Network Cables are widely used for various networking applications due to their affordability, ease of installation, and compatibility with standard Ethernet equipment. They provide reliable data transmission and are suitable for most residential and small to medium-sized business networks.
