The Cat5e 500m Roll, CCA, UTP CAT5e Cable, Grey is an affordable, reliable Ethernet cable designed for use in indoor networking environments. It offers essential features for standard Ethernet networking setups, supporting high-speed data transmission and efficient power delivery in residential, office, and light commercial installations.

Key Specifications:

1. Cable Type:

   • Type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
   • Category: Cat5e (Category 5 enhanced)
   • Conductor Material: Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) – Provides a cost-effective solution compared to pure copper.
   • Jacket Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – Grey color, designed for indoor use.
   • Cable Length: 500 meters per roll.

2. Electrical Performance:

   • Transmission Speed: Up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
   • Bandwidth: 100 MHz – Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other network applications.
   • Impedance: 100 ohms (nominal), the standard for Ethernet applications.
   • Conductor Gauge: 24 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
   • Signal Frequency: Supports frequencies up to 100 MHz.
   • Attenuation: Designed for short to medium-length cable runs with typical signal loss.

3. Construction:

   • Pairs: 4 twisted pairs of copper-clad aluminum (CCA) conductors.
   • Twists per Pair: Each pair is twisted to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.
   • Insulation: Each conductor is insulated with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or similar material.
   • Jacket Thickness: Typically 0.6mm-0.8mm (standard for Cat5e cables).
   • Outer Diameter: Approximately 5mm-6mm.

4. Mechanical Properties:

   • Outer Jacket Color: Grey for standard indoor installations.
   • Weight: Approximately 5-6 kg per 500-meter roll.
   • Bend Radius: Minimum bend radius is typically 4 times the outer diameter of the cable.

5. Performance Standards:

   • Complies with:
     • TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1: The standard for Category 5e twisted-pair cabling.
     • ISO/IEC 11801: International standards for cabling.
     • IEEE 802.3: Ethernet networking standards, including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T.
   • UL Listed: Meets safety requirements for indoor use.
   • RoHS Compliant: Free from hazardous materials in compliance with RoHS standards.

6. Environmental Characteristics:

   • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F), suitable for most indoor environments.
   • Storage Temperature: -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to 158°F).
   • Flammability Rating: The CMR (Riser) rating indicates it is safe for vertical riser installations in indoor settings.

7. Applications:

   • Indoor Use: Suitable for indoor networking environments, including home and office networking setups.
   • Ethernet Networking: Ideal for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, VoIP (Voice over IP), and other data transmission needs.
   • Networking Devices: Works with computers, routers, switches, modems, and other networking devices requiring Ethernet cabling.
