Network Cable Microconnect KAB040-305 RJ45 Cat5e 305m Black

Microconnect KAB040-305 is a Cat5e network cable on a 305 m spool, constructed with copper-clad aluminium (CCA) solid conductors (AWG 23/1) and a PVC outer sheath. With a conductor diameter of 0.55 mm, this black cable is intended for structured cabling where reliable Ethernet signal transmission and compatibility with RJ45 terminations are required.

Advantages

The CCA solid conductors and PVC sheath offer a balance of signal transmission and mechanical protection while keeping the cable lightweight. Cat5e specification supports stable high-speed Ethernet connections, and the 305 m spool provides sufficient length for installation in homes or small to medium office environments. The black outer jacket reduces visible wear and helps maintain a tidy installation.

Suitable for

• Home Ethernet networks
• Office LAN cabling and patch panels
• Structured cabling installations requiring long continuous runs
• Terminated RJ45 connections for switches, routers and network devices

How to use

Measure and route the cable along the planned path, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Cut the required length from the 305 m spool and strip the outer PVC sheath carefully to expose the solid conductors. Terminate the conductors with appropriate RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks following the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Test each terminated run with a network cable tester to verify continuity and pair integrity before finalising the installation.

Recommendations

Keep cable runs away from mains power lines to minimise interference, and do not exceed recommended bend radii for solid-core cable. Use proper cable management and secure the cable without excessive tension. For environments requiring higher shielding or higher data rates, consider using Cat6 or shielded cabling instead of CCA Cat5e.
