Networking cable Alantec KIU5LINKA100G U/UTP Cat5e 100 m Light grey

The Alantec KIU5LINKA100G U/UTP Cat5e networking cable is a 100 m, light grey cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Edition, EN 50173:2007 and ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2 standards for enhanced Category 5e performance, the cable contains eight colour-coded polyethylene insulated conductors twisted into four pairs and protected by a heat-resistant PVC jacket with an internal nylon rip cord.

Advantages

This Cat5e U/UTP cable provides standardized performance for Ethernet and other network applications, with twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk and a durable PVC jacket for mechanical protection. The light grey jacket allows easy visual identification and integration into a variety of installation environments, while compliance with international standards ensures predictable electrical characteristics and compatibility with common networking hardware.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices and data closets
• Ethernet networks up to Cat5e performance levels
• Patch panels and horizontal cabling runs
• Situations requiring color-coded cable identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (enhanced)
• Type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs)
• Conductors: 8 colour-coded polyethylene insulated conductors (4 twisted pairs)
• Jacket: Heat-resistant PVC, light grey
• Standards: ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Edition, EN 50173:2007, ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2
• Internal feature: Nylon rip cord

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 100 m spool, strip the jacket carefully to expose the twisted pairs and use appropriate termination connectors or keystone jacks designed for Cat5e cables. Maintain pair integrity and follow standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B) when terminating. Avoid sharp bends, kinking or placing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For best results, install this Cat5e U/UTP cable in accordance with local cabling standards and bend-radius guidelines; keep cable runs separated from power lines and ensure proper labeling or color-coding to simplify maintenance.
