RS Pro Cat5e Cable 100MHz


RS Pro Category 5e cables have been designed to deliver excellent performance in high speed network applications.

This Cat5e cable exceeds the minimum specified performance and prevents crosstalk helping to keep data safe.

Features and Benefits


·Designed to deliver robust performance and ensure optimum bandwidth

·Supports horizontal networking applications up to 100m

Product Application Information


This RS Pro Cat5e cable supports backbone and horizontal networking applications over distances up to 100 metres.

Why choose Cat5e over Cat5 cables


Cat5 and Cat5e are virtually identical and cannot be told apart by thickness, colour or material. Cat5e cables sometimes have a more durable protective jacket making them suitable for use for many more years than a Cat5 cable. Within the jacket the wiring inside tends to be much tightly twisted making them more resistant to crosstalk.
Cat5e cables are able to support networks that run up to 1 gigabyte per second making them ideal for use within IT where the fast transference of data is essential.
Cat5e cables also have a higher bandwidth of 350 MHz which means they can carry a lot more information from one system to another than Cat5 cables can.

What is crosstalk?


Crosstalk is the electromagnetic interference that occurs between cables when they are close to each other. This interference can lead to errors in data transmission.

Approvals

ANSI/EIA/TIA 568B.2:2002, ISO/IEC 11801:2002, RoHS, REACH.

RS Pro Cat5e Cable 100MHz


Even though Cat5e Cable is showing its age, the technical capabilities of Cat5 provide 1000-megabit (1 gigabit) communication speed, providing Power over Ethernet.

We are proudly introducing our own branded RS PRO Cat5e Cable designed to connect either to a laptop, PC, modem, router, switch, phone or IP camera. This Ethernet Cable exceeds the minimum performance specification and prevents crosstalk helping to keep your data safe. Our Cable deliveries backbone and horizontal networking applications over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet).
The UTP code for this network cable provides valuable shielding information to make a formal decision as:

  • U stands for unshielded

  • TP stands for twisted pair


Within the jacket, the wiring inside is tightly twisted, meaning the Cat5e is more resistant to crosstalk than Cat5. The crosstalk refers to electromagnetic interference that occurs between cables when they are close to each other. This interference can lead to error in data transmission; therefore, it is essential to pick the right network cable.

Features and Benefits


  • The UTP type support horizontal networking applications up to 100 m

  • Accreditation of ANSI/EIA/TIA 568B.2:2002, ISO/IEC 11801:2002, RoHS, REACH

  • Meets technical standard providing 1000-megabit (1 gigabit) communication speed

  • The Cable comes on a reel of 305 meters

  • The category 5e Cable is tightly twisted pair to avoid crosstalk making sure no interference or error in data transmission

Applications


Typical applications for this type of Ethernet Cable can be found in:

  • Laptop

  • PC

  • Modem

  • Router

  • Switch

  • Phone

  • IP camera

Frequently asked questions


What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat5?

The main difference lies in data transmission through network capabilities. CAT5 Cable can transmit data from 10 to 100 Mbps whereas Cat5e Cable is performing at up to 1000 Mbps.
