Networking Cable Alantec KIU5LINKA305 U/UTP Cat5e 305m White

The Alantec KIU5LINKA305 U/UTP Cat5e networking cable is a 305 m roll designed for structured cabling and patching in office and residential environments. Constructed from eight color-coded polyethylene insulated conductors twisted into four pairs, the cable includes a nylon rip cord and a heat-resistant PVC jacket. Its unshielded U/UTP design meets ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Edition, EN 50173:2007 and ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B.2 standards for Category 5e performance, and the white jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for varied installations.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured and tested to international Category 5e standards, ensuring consistent performance for fast Ethernet applications. Color-coded conductors and clearly twisted pairs simplify termination and installation. A heat-resistant PVC jacket combined with a nylon rip cord improves durability and makes on-site preparation easier. The 305 m length reduces the need for multiple joins in large installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 305 m roll, then use the rip cord to remove the outer jacket. Untwist the pairs only as much as necessary for termination to RJ45 connectors or patch panels, following standard wiring schemes (T568A or T568B). Terminate using appropriate crimping tools and test with a cable tester to verify continuity and pair integrity.

Recommendations

Install the cable away from sources of electromagnetic interference (motors, fluorescent lighting, high-voltage power lines). Observe maximum run lengths for horizontal cabling (100 m) and use proper strain relief at terminations. For installations requiring higher immunity to interference, consider shielded cable variants.
