MACLEAN MCTV-579 Cat 5e UTP CCA Network Cable 100m Grey

Cat 5e UTP network cable with copper-clad aluminum conductors delivers Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 100 meters, making it a cost-effective backbone for structured cabling in homes and offices. The grey PVC jacket protects four twisted pairs while maintaining signal integrity through reduced crosstalk and interference.

Advantages

The MCTV-579 features a durable grey PVC jacket that shields the four twisted pairs from physical damage and environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting performance. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, preserving signal quality even in dense cable runs. With a length of 100 meters, this cable offers flexibility for various installation scenarios, from patch panels to wall outlets. The copper-clad aluminum (CCA) construction keeps the cable lightweight and easy to handle during installation, while still meeting TIA/EIA-568-B.2 standards for Cat 5e performance.
