DSIT CAT5e Network Cable U/UTP 50m Yellow 100% Copper

Running a reliable Gigabit network in a workshop, office, or home lab often comes down to the cable in the walls. This DSIT CAT5e U/UTP cable gives you 50 metres of solid, 100% copper performance in a bright yellow jacket that’s easy to trace through cable trays and patch panels. It’s built for permanent installations where a stable 1 Gbps link matters more than a flashy box.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT5e, U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 50 metres
• Colour: Yellow
• Conductor: 100% copper, solid, 24 AWG
• Performance: up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T), 100 MHz bandwidth
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: PVC, T568B wiring
• Standards: TIA/EIA-568-B.2, ISO/IEC 11801, RoHS compliant
• Operating temperature: -20°C to 60°C

Why choose it

Copper-clad aluminium (CCA) cables are cheaper, but they can’t handle the same current, distance, or reliability as pure copper. This DSIT cable uses solid copper conductors throughout, so you get full Power over Ethernet support and a stable signal over the entire 50-metre run. The yellow PVC jacket is easy to identify in crowded racks, and the gold-plated RJ45 plugs resist corrosion for years of dependable connections.

Ideal use cases

• Permanent horizontal runs in offices, schools, or retail spaces
• Connecting routers, switches, PCs, servers, and IP cameras
• Home networking where you want to hide cables in walls or conduits
• PoE devices such as access points and VoIP phones (up to 1 Gbps)

Good to know

This is a solid-conductor cable, so it’s best for fixed installations rather than frequent flexing. The U/UTP design means no overall foil or braid shield, which is perfect for most indoor environments away from heavy electromagnetic interference. If you need to run alongside power lines or industrial machinery, consider a shielded (F/UTP or S/FTP) option instead. The cable meets TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC standards, so it will work seamlessly with any CAT5e or higher network equipment.
