LAN CAT5E PVC UTP 4-Pair Unshielded Ethernet Cable – Grey (Per Metre) Supports up to 1Gbps (100m)

Category 5e (CAT5E) PVC UTP Enhanced ethernet cable features an ultra-flexible PVC outer jacket. While advanced systems demand the massive bandwidth of CAT6, many essential standalone smart devices, legacy components, and auxiliary lighting control accessories operate perfectly on standard data signals. This cable offers a highly economical, structurally compact alternative for establishing robust, hardwired connections without the added expense of unneeded bandwidth.

Performance & Distance Specifications

• Standard Data Transmission: Fully supports reliable data speeds of up to 1Gbps (Gigabit network standards) across entire cable runs of up to 100 metres.
• Bandwidth Rating: Tested up to 100MHz, providing clean and consistent signal integrity for standard automated tasks and everyday data operations.
• Cable Architecture: Consists of 4 unshielded twisted pairs (8 individual solid copper cores)

Applications

• Utility & Entry-Level Systems: Ideal for connecting basic smart home peripherals, intercoms, automated gate control relays, and digital telephone lines.
• Reduced interference (compared with CAT5) with improved shielding
• Space-Restricted Wiring: Because CAT5E is physically thinner than CAT6, it is highly recommended for tricky retrofits inside tight electrical back-boxes, narrow mini-trunking, or shallow partition walls.
• Budget-Conscious Installs: The go-to utility cable for cost-driven residential installations where high-speed data transmission beyond 1Gbps is unnecessary.
