Network Cable Solarix SXKD-5E-FTP-PE-SAM RJ45 CAT5E 305m Black

The Solarix SXKD-5E-FTP-PE-SAM is an outdoor self-supporting shielded CAT5E installation cable with a UV-stable polyethylene (PE) jacket delivered on a 305 m wooden spool. It includes an internal steel messenger wire in a separate insulation that allows the cable to be installed as self-supporting for spans up to 70 m. The cable is designed for outdoor deployments where PVC or LSOH sheaths do not provide sufficient environmental protection and is compatible with structured cabling systems meeting international standards for category 5E.

Advantages

The cable combines FTP shielding around all four pairs with a robust PE outer jacket for improved protection against external interference and weather. The integrated steel support wire enables self-supporting runs, reducing the need for additional infrastructure. Markings at 1 m intervals and product information printed on the wooden spool (including barcode, batch number and NVP data via QR code) simplify installation and inventory management.

Suitable for

• Outdoor horizontal data runs where environmental protection is required
• Self-supporting aerial installations up to 70 m span

How to use

Plan the route ensuring spans do not exceed the specified 70 m for self-supporting installation. Fix termination points and supports appropriate for aerial outdoor runs, then unspool the cable from the wooden reel while maintaining tension to avoid kinks. Terminate the cable using standard RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks compatible with FTP shielded cable and ensure proper grounding of the foil shield and the steel messenger where required. Follow local codes for outdoor cabling and bonding.

Recommendations

Store the cable on the original wooden spool in a dry place and protect from direct sunlight before installation. During installation avoid sharp bends and mechanical damage; maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer. Ensure shield and messenger wire are correctly grounded to preserve performance and reduce interference risk.
