InLine patchkabel SF/UTP Cat.5e AWG26 CCA PVC grijs 500m

Twisted Pair Cat.5e network cable in a 500 m hank, designed for on-site patching to length. The cable uses an AWG26 conductor made from a copper-clad aluminium (CCA) alloy and is jacketed in grey PVC. It features SF/UTP shielding to reduce external interference and is intended for Category 5e applications.

Advantages

The InLine SF/UTP Cat.5e AWG26 CCA PVC grey 500m offers long continuous length for flexible installation, integrated shielding for improved noise rejection compared with unshielded alternatives, and a PVC jacket that provides mechanical protection and ease of handling. Its construction supports standard Cat5e wiring schemes for typical LAN deployments.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling runs where cables are cut and terminated on site
• Home and small office Ethernet installations up to Cat5e performance
• Environments requiring additional shielding compared with UTP

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 5e (Cat5e)
• Length: 500 m (hank)
• Conductor: AWG26, copper-clad aluminium (CCA)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall foil + braided shield with unshielded pairs)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Cut the required cable length from the 500 m hank and terminate both ends using appropriate RJ45 plugs or patch panels following Cat5e wiring (T568A or T568B). Ensure proper removal of the outer jacket and shields where necessary, and maintain pair twists as close as possible to the termination point to preserve performance. Ground the shielded cable and connected equipment when using the SF/UTP shield to maximise interference protection.

Recommendations

Note that the conductor is copper-clad aluminium (CCA). While the cable meets Cat5e construction, full Cat5e performance over long distances (approximately greater than 50 m) is not guaranteed with CCA conductors; for guaranteed performance on longer runs or mission-critical links, use a cable with 100% copper (CU) conductors.
