BCS BCS-U/UTP-CAT5E-LSOH Cat5e U/UTP LSOH Solid Bare Copper Bulk Ethernet Cable, 305m, Grey

The BCS BCS-U/UTP-CAT5E-LSOH is a high-performance Cat5e bulk Ethernet cable designed for reliable data transmission in indoor horizontal cabling applications. Featuring U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction with solid bare copper conductors, this cable ensures excellent signal integrity and supports data rates up to 100 Mbps (100BASE-TX) and 1000BASE-T over shorter distances. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH) jacket provides enhanced fire safety, making it ideal for use in public buildings, schools, and offices where safety is paramount.

Advantages

This cable offers a perfect balance of performance and safety. The solid bare copper conductors provide superior conductivity and durability compared to copper-clad aluminum (CCA) alternatives. The LSOH jacket emits low smoke and no halogen gases in case of fire, reducing toxic fumes and improving evacuation safety. With a bandwidth of 100 MHz and compliance with TIA/EIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, it ensures reliable network performance for voice, data, and video applications.

Suitable for

• Indoor horizontal cabling in data networks
• Structured cabling systems in offices, schools, and hospitals
• Installations requiring low smoke and zero halogen fire safety
• 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet networks
