The securityNET Category 5e F/UTP installation twisted-pair cable is a four-pair data transmission cable designed for indoor telecommunications and structured cabling installations. It is intended for connecting network devices such as computers, routers, switches, and IP CCTV cameras.
The foil shield protects the transmission path against electromagnetic interference, while solid copper conductors ensure stable data transmission and compliance with Category 5e requirements, including Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The cable is commonly used in LAN networks, IP surveillance systems, and telephone installations.
The cable complies with the requirements of the ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, and EIA/TIA 568-C.2 standards.
Application
Cables designed for indoor installations are engineered to operate in stable environmental conditions typical of residential, office, and infrastructure buildings. Their construction, based on conductors made of 100% pure solid copper, ensures stable and consistent transmission performance along the entire cable length. The use of solid copper minimizes signal loss and supports compliance with the requirements of ICT systems. These cables are fully compatible with solutions used in structured cabling systems.
Category
Category 5e, corresponding to Class D, is a structured cabling standard designed for data transmission speeds of up to 1 Gb/s (1000BASE-T). This category typically operates within a frequency range of up to 100 MHz; however, in this solution, the bandwidth has been extended to 350 MHz, providing greater transmission performance margins and more reliable data transmission.
Category 5e cabling is used in LAN and WAN networks, as well as IP surveillance systems, enabling the connection of devices such as switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras. In accordance with structured cabling standards, the maximum permanent link length should not exceed 90 meters, assuming the use of patch cords up to 5 meters in length on both ends of the transmission channel.
Shielding
F/UTP twisted pair cable features an overall foil shield surrounding all wire pairs, without individual shielding for each pair. This design reduces the impact of external electromagnetic interference and minimizes cable-generated interference affecting the surrounding environment.
This cable is intended for installations in environments with moderate levels of EMI, where U/UTP may not provide sufficient transmission stability. It requires proper grounding of the shield along the entire transmission path. It is recommended for routing near electrical installations and within denser cable bundles. It performs well in installations with high requirements for transmission stability and performance.
Sheath
The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath used in twisted pair cables is designed to provide enhanced fire safety. This material contains no halogens and, when exposed to high temperatures, emits minimal smoke without producing aggressive corrosive gases.
LSZH-sheathed cables are intended for indoor installations in environments with elevated safety requirements, such as public buildings, offices, data centers, and evacuation routes. Compared to PVC, the sheath is generally less flexible, but it provides better protection for people, infrastructure, and equipment in emergency situations.
CPR class
Cca-class cables demonstrate limited contribution to fire development. This classification is based on test results in accordance with EN 50399 and EN 60332-1-2 standards, including the measurement of heat release, fire growth rate, and flame spread.
The full class designation includes additional parameters: smoke production (s1, s2, s3), flaming droplets (d0, d1, d2), and the acidity of combustion gases (a1, a2, a3). Cca cables are subject to the AVCP 1+ assessment system, which includes production facility certification and periodic control testing.
Cables of this class are used in facilities with elevated fire safety requirements, such as office buildings, hotels, schools, evacuation routes, and common areas of multi-family residential buildings. In many EU countries, the Cca class is the standard required for installations in public-use buildings.
PoE
An installation using the PoE+ standard (IEEE 802.3at, Type 2) enables power delivery to network devices with a maximum output of up to 30 W while data transmission is carried over two wire pairs. This solution is widely used in standard LAN installations where moderate power demand is required.
The transmission channel length can reach up to 100 meters, in accordance with structured cabling standards. This standard ensures stable operation with typical cable categories used in indoor installations.
PoE+ is used to power devices such as VoIP phones, Wi-Fi access points operating under the 802.11n standard, CCTV cameras, alarm systems, biometric access control devices, and Video VoIP terminals. It is intended for devices with power consumption of up to 25.5 W, eliminating the need for local power supplies.
Color
Light gray is a practical color for technical installations. It effectively conceals minor dirt, dust, and signs of wear, helping the cabling maintain a clean appearance over time. It is often chosen for cable routes in offices, server rooms, and technical spaces.
Warranty
By choosing securityNET cables, you are investing in solutions designed for long-term and reliable performance in network installations. These products are covered by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, confirming the quality of the materials used and the control of the production process.
The warranty covers manufacturing defects and workmanship faults revealed during use in accordance with the intended application and applicable installation standards.
