DSIT CAT5e Network Cable, U/UTP, 20 m, Grey, 100% Copper (DC-51-200)

A reliable 20-metre CAT5e U/UTP network cable built with 100% copper conductors for stable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. The grey PVC jacket and gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure durability and consistent performance in home or office LAN setups.

Advantages

This cable delivers full 1000BASE-T speeds up to 100 MHz, making it ideal for high-bandwidth tasks like HD streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers. The unshielded twisted pair design reduces crosstalk while remaining flexible and easy to route. Pure copper conductors provide superior signal integrity compared to copper-clad aluminium (CCA) alternatives, and the cable is backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat3 networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, routers, switches, and modems
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as IP cameras and access points
• Structured cabling in homes, offices, and small data centres
• Long-distance runs up to 20 metres without signal loss
