Network cable UBIQUITI TOUGHCable RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m, black, RJ-45 connector

The industrial-grade Category 5e TOUGHCable is designed to protect and maintain reliable Ethernet connections in demanding environments. It offers enhanced link stability and supports longer cable runs while reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge damage. TOUGHCable is intended for use where increased performance and environmental resilience are required.

Advantages

TOUGHCable improves Ethernet link states and achievable speeds compared with standard cabling, while its weatherproof construction ensures operation in harsh outdoor or industrial conditions. The cable provides built-in protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) to help prevent hardware failure and supports enhanced power handling for extended run lengths. TOUGHCable Connectors are matched to the cable to protect against ESD and allow quick field termination without soldering.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 5e
• Industrial-grade, weatherproof design for harsh environments
• ESD protection to reduce risk of electrostatic damage
• Improved link states and higher data throughput vs. standard cable
• Enhanced power handling for extended cable runs
• Compatible TOUGHCable Connectors for tool-free field termination (no soldering)

How to use

Install TOUGHCable following standard cable routing practices for Ethernet runs, ensuring proper strain relief and protection from physical damage. Use the specified TOUGHCable Connectors for termination to maintain ESD protection and to enable rapid field deployment without soldering. Verify link integrity and data rate after installation to confirm improved link states and performance.

Recommendations

For outdoor or industrial Ethernet installations, pair TOUGHCable with the matching TOUGHCable Connectors and follow shielding and grounding best practices to maximize ESD protection and reliable power handling over extended runs.
