LANBERG Networking Cable RJ-45 Cat5e PCU5-10CC-3000-R, U/UTP, CCA conductors, 30 m, red

LANBERG Networking Cable RJ-45 Cat5e PCU5-10CC-3000-R is a 30 m patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and a red PVC jacket. The cable uses U/UTP unshielded construction with Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA) conductors in 26 AWG size, supports frequencies up to 100 MHz and has an outer diameter of 4.8 mm. It is designed for Cat5e-level Ethernet connections for office, home and light commercial installations where a cost-effective, color-coded network lead is required.

Advantages

This LANBERG Cat5e cable provides a balance of performance and affordability by using CCA conductors while maintaining Cat5e electrical characteristics up to 100 MHz. The 30 m length reduces the need for intermediate patching points in many typical network runs. A red PVC jacket offers clear visual identification in cabling bundles and racks, and the U/UTP (unshielded) design keeps the cable flexible and easy to route in office or residential environments.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patching between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Office desk connections for PCs, VoIP phones and printers
• Home network connections for NAS, streaming devices and gaming consoles
• Color-coded cable management in small server rooms or wiring closets

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, PC or patch panel) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-voltage power lines or sources of electromagnetic interference. For permanent installations, secure the cable with cable ties or clips and leave service loops to allow for re-termination or movement of equipment.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e patch cable for typical Ethernet connections up to 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps in short runs where CCA conductors meet your installation requirements. Avoid using CCA-based cables for PoE applications with high current draw over long distances without verifying voltage drop and power delivery needs. For environments with significant electromagnetic interference or where higher bandwidths are required, consider shielded or higher-category cables.
