Why choose it

Using pure copper instead of copper-clad aluminium (CCA) means better conductivity and less signal loss, especially over longer runs. The stranded conductors make the cable more flexible and resistant to breakage from repeated bending, ideal for patch panels and desk connections. Its CAT5e rating supports Gigabit speeds, making it a future-ready choice for most office and home networks.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting computers, printers, and IP phones to wall outlets or switches
• Extending network drops in offices, classrooms, or retail spaces
• Patch panel to switch connections in structured cabling systems
• Home networking for gaming consoles, smart TVs, and NAS devices

Good to know

The cable is terminated with standard RJ45 plugs and follows the TIA/EIA 568B wiring scheme, ensuring compatibility with virtually all Ethernet equipment. The grey PVC jacket is durable yet flexible, suitable for indoor use. For tidy installations, consider pairing with cable ties or a cable management system.
