Network Cable Digitus Cat.5e U/UTP 100m Grey

The Digitus Cat.5e U/UTP 100m Grey is an installation-grade network cable designed for structured cabling in buildings and data centers. Compliant with ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50288-2-1 and DIN EN 50173 standards, this Cat5e cable supports 1 GBit Ethernet and transmits both analog and digital signals. The cable uses U/UTP construction with individually tinned copper-braided pairs to ensure reliable data transfer and reduced interference, and it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). The grey jacket and 100 m reel make it suitable for professional installations and long runs.

Advantages

The U/UTP design with single shielded pairs and a tinned copper braid provides improved shielding performance and stable electrical characteristics. Rated for 100 MHz transmission frequency and 1 GBit Ethernet, the cable meets Cat5e performance requirements while also supporting PoE. Compliance with CPR class Eca indicates the cable’s reaction-to-fire classification under European standards. The 100 m length and neutral grey colour simplify planning and installation for building and data center cabling.

Suitable for

• Structured building cabling according to ISO/IEC 11801 and related standards
• Data centre horizontal and backbone connections
• Ethernet networks up to 1 GBit/s
• PoE-powered devices such as IP phones, access points and cameras

How to use

Install the Digitus Cat.5e U/UTP cable following standard cabling practices: route the cable along designated pathways, avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference, and maintain proper separation from power lines. Terminate each end with appropriate Cat5e RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks using correct pair untwisting and termination techniques to preserve performance. Test each run with a network cable tester to verify continuity, pair mapping and performance up to 100 MHz.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat5e U/UTP cable for horizontal runs and short backbone segments where 1 GBit performance and PoE support are required. When installing near potential interference sources, consider additional pathway separation or alternative shielding options. Always follow local installation standards and building codes when deploying permanent cabling.
