Microconnect KAB025-100 networking cable Black 100 m Cat5e U/UTP (UTP)

The Microconnect KAB025-100 is a 100 m U/UTP Cat5e networking cable in black, designed for structured cabling and Ethernet installations. With support for data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and AWG 23 CCA conductors, this cable provides a balance between performance and cost for office and home networks. The outer jacket is UV- and water-resistant, increasing durability for indoor and certain protected outdoor runs. The cable is supplied without connectors and is terminated using standard 100M LSA connector blocks.

Advantages

This Cat5e U/UTP cable offers 1000 Mbit/s bandwidth support, AWG 23 CCA conductors for reliable signal transmission, and a UV- and water-resistant jacket for enhanced durability. Its black colour provides a discreet, professional appearance in visible installations, and the 100 m length allows for long horizontal or backbone runs without splicing.

Suitable for

• Ethernet LAN installations (Cat5e) up to 1000 Mbit/s
• Structured cabling in offices and homes
• Horizontal or backbone cable runs requiring up to 100 m length
• Termination with 100M LSA connector blocks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall braid absent)
• Conductor: AWG 23 CCA (copper-clad aluminum)
• Connectors: No connectors supplied; compatible with 100M LSA termination
• Colour: Black
• Jacket: UV- and water-resistant
• Data rate: up to 1000 Mbit/s

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 100 m spool, strip the outer jacket and pair insulation according to standard cabling practice, and terminate the individual pairs on a 100M LSA connector block or compatible keystone/jack following the T568A or T568B wiring scheme. Ensure proper pair untwisting limits to maintain performance and use appropriate cable management to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable for local area network connections within buildings or protected outdoor routes. Avoid permanent exposure to harsh outdoor elements despite the UV- and water-resistant jacket. Match termination and patching components rated for Cat5e and verify final links with a network cable tester.
