LANBERG networking cable Cat5e LCF5-21CU-0305-BK, F/UTP copper, 305 m, 24 AWG, PE jacket, black

The Lanberg LCF5-21CU-0305-BK is a Cat5e F/UTP LAN cable on a wooden drum, 305 m in length, designed for structured cabling and network installations. It uses 100% pure copper solid conductors (AWG 24, 4 pairs 2*0.51 mm), has printed meter markings along the jacket, and a black PE outer sheath suitable for indoor routing and cable channels. The cable is specified for operation up to 100 MHz and supports standard Ethernet runs up to 100 m.

Advantages

Shielded F/UTP construction reduces external electromagnetic interference while the solid 100% copper conductors provide stable signal transmission and low DC resistance. The printed length counter at every meter simplifies measurement and installation, and the wooden drum packaging protects the cable during transport and storage.

Suitable for

• Structured Ethernet cabling in offices and data closets
• Horizontal and vertical network runs up to 100 m
• Installations requiring reduced EMI thanks to F/UTP shielding
• Projects where a long cable reel (305 m) is needed for continuous runs

How to use

Unwind the required length from the wooden drum and cut cleanly. Strip the outer PE sheath and separate pairs following standard wiring practices for Cat5e. Terminate with appropriate RJ45 connectors or patch panels designed for F/UTP cable, observing the recommended connector guide diameter of 1.1 mm for braided drain/foil if applicable. Ensure proper grounding of the foil drain/shield according to installation standards.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep individual cable runs within 100 m and avoid tight bends or crushing. Terminate shield at a single point to maintain shielding effectiveness and follow local cabling standards for grounding and separation from power cables.
