Networking Cable Dexlan 613022 100m Cat5e F/UTP Purple

The Dexlan 613022 100m Cat5e F/UTP Purple networking cable is a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for structured cabling and Ethernet installations. Meeting Cat5e performance requirements, it supports reliable data transmission for networks that require reduced electromagnetic interference. The F/UTP construction features an overall foil shield around the twisted pairs, and the 100-meter reel provides a continuous length suitable for patch runs, horizontal cabling, and rack-to-switch connections while the purple sheath helps with visual identification in multi-cable environments.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e bandwidth characteristics with F/UTP shielding to improve immunity to external noise and crosstalk compared to unshielded variants. Its 100 m length on a single reel reduces the number of joints needed in horizontal runs. The purple outer jacket offers quick visual differentiation during installation and maintenance, aiding cable management. The construction is suitable for typical office and data center environments where moderate shielded protection is required.

How to use

Unwind the required length from the 100 m reel and cut cleanly at the needed point. Strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the twisted pairs without nicking the conductors. Terminate the pairs to compatible RJ45 shielded connectors or patch panels designed for F/UTP cable, ensuring the overall foil shield is connected to the connector or panel ground to maintain shielding effectiveness. Route the cable following standard bend radius and support guidelines, avoiding tight bends, sharp edges, and proximity to high-voltage power runs to reduce potential interference and mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For optimal shielding performance, ground the overall foil shield at one end or follow site grounding practices; maintain proper separation from power cables and observe recommended bend radius during installation. Use appropriate shielded connectors and testing tools to verify continuity, pair integrity and near-end/far-end performance after installation.
