UTP and FTP Cat5 RJ45 patch cables are RJ45 100 ohm twisted pair patch cables, they can be used for IT connections and category 5 networks. These moulded cables provide greater reliability than standard non-moulded cables.
What is a Cat5 Cable?
Cat5 Ethernet cables are one of the most popular types of network cable for connecting computers, modems, routers and other wired internet capable devices.
Features and Benefits
• Designed for fast installation. • Reliable in harsh environments. • Consistent and reliable performance which offers maximum uptime. • Durable and hard wearing due to the moulded kink protection. • Flexible and suitable for narrow bending. • Impedance: 100 Ω • Connector: RJ45 (8 contacts)
Typical Applications
• Cat5 cables feature stringent specifications for cross talk and system noise. These Cat5 cables are ideal for networking connections between devices. • These types of cables are also a perfect solution for structured building cabling. • Cat5 cables can be used to carry telephone and video signals, in some cases more than one signal at a time. • Usually used for LAN (Local Area Network) applications. Connecting computers, hubs, switches and routers to the network in schools, colleges, offices, hospitals and the home. Other applications include telephone, video and CCTV systems.
Care Instructions
When storing your patch leads, we advise that you lightly roll your cables into a loose coil, going with the natural curve of the wire. When not in use, we suggest that the cables be stored in a protective case where dust and impurities will not get lodges into the connector ends.
