DSIT CAT5e U/UTP Network Cable, 26/7 AWG, Flexible, 305 m, Grey, CCA

Network installers and IT technicians pulling long horizontal runs in office buildings will appreciate this DSIT CAT5e bulk cable. It comes on a 305-meter reel, ready for custom terminations in patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 connectors. The unshielded twisted pair design with 26 AWG stranded copper-clad aluminum conductors balances flexibility and cost, making it a practical choice for Gigabit Ethernet installations.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT5e, U/UTP (unshielded)
• Conductor: 26 AWG stranded CCA (7 strands per conductor)
• Length: 305 meters on reel
• Jacket: PVC, grey
• Performance: 100 MHz bandwidth, 1000 Mbps data rate
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Compliance: TIA/EIA-568-C.2
• Pairs: 4 twisted pairs

Why choose it

Stranded conductors make this cable more flexible than solid-core alternatives, easing installation in tight spaces and patch cord assembly. The CCA construction reduces weight and cost while still supporting Gigabit Ethernet for runs up to 100 meters. The 305-meter reel provides ample length for multiple drops, reducing waste and ensuring consistent performance across a project.

Ideal use cases

• Structured cabling for offices, schools, and retail spaces
• Custom-length patch cables and equipment cords
• Horizontal runs from wiring closets to workstations
• DIY network projects requiring bulk cable

Good to know

CCA cable is not recommended for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications above 60W due to higher DC resistance compared to solid copper. Always verify local code requirements before installation.
