Networking cable Lanberg LCU5-12CU-0305-O U/UTP Cat5e 305 m Orange

Lanberg LCU5-12CU-0305-O is a Cat5e U/UTP LAN cable supplied on a 305 m reel. The cable uses 100% pure copper conductors (AWG 24) with single-strand construction and HDPE insulation, and is designed for data transmission up to 100 MHz. The orange jacket includes a printed meter counter at every metre for easy measuring and is protected by a PVC outer sheath.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides consistent electrical characteristics for typical Ethernet installations, featuring single-wire 24 AWG copper conductors for low resistance and stable signal transfer. The printed length counter simplifies deployment and cutting, while the orange outer jacket improves cable identification. The cable is supplied in a color inner box with a master carton for convenient handling and storage.

Suitable for

• Ethernet networks up to 100 m (Cat5e)
• Office and home structured cabling
• Patch panels and horizontal cabling
• Indoor installations where U/UTP unshielded cable is appropriate

How to use

Measure the required length using the printed meter counter and cut the cable to size. Strip outer jacket and pair insulation as required for the chosen termination method, keeping pair twist as intact as possible to maintain performance. Use compatible RJ45 connectors and follow standard wiring schemes (TIA/EIA 568A or 568B). Install in indoor environments and observe the maximum recommended working distance of 100 m for Ethernet links.

Recommendations

For best results, avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and minimize sharp bends or kinks. Use proper cable management and termination tools designed for AWG 24 to maintain signal integrity.
