Network cable GEMBIRD CAT5e F/UTP (FTP) 100 m, 24 AWG, grey

The Gembird CAT5e FTP networking cable is a 100 m grey cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. The cable uses CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum) conductors and features FTP (F/UTP) shielding to reduce external electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for home and office network installations that require reliable Category 5E performance.

Advantages

FTP shielding (F/UTP) helps reduce interference from nearby cables and devices. The CCA conductors provide a cost-effective alternative to pure copper while maintaining compatibility with Cat5e networking equipment. A 100 m reel length covers typical room-to-room and structured cabling runs without splices.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections in homes and small offices
• Patch runs between switches, routers and wall outlets
• Structured cabling where Cat5e performance is sufficient
• Environments requiring reduced EMI on data lines

How to use

Cut and terminate the cable with appropriate RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks following standard T568A or T568B wiring schemes. Ensure the foil shielding is properly grounded at least on one end when installing in environments with significant electromagnetic interference. Use cable management such as trays or clips to avoid sharp bends and maintain the specified minimum bend radius.

Recommendations

For best signal integrity, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables for long distances. If higher performance or better conductivity is required, consider using solid copper Cat5e or Cat6 cable instead of CCA conductors.
