securityNET U/UTP cable Category 5e PE outdoor gel-filled 305m

Gel-filled cables are intended for outdoor applications where elevated humidity or a risk of moisture ingress may occur due to environmental conditions. Conductors made of 100% pure solid copper ensure stable and consistent transmission parameters. The gel filling limits moisture migration inside the cable, protecting the conductors from electrical degradation and supporting the long-term reliability of the installation. The cable design allows for safe installation directly in the ground or in telecommunication ducts.

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.

The PE (polyethylene) jacket used in twisted pair cables is primarily intended for outdoor installations. This material offers excellent resistance to moisture, UV radiation, and varying weather conditions, allowing for long-term cable operation outside buildings.

Cables with a PE jacket are stiffer than their PVC or LSZH counterparts; however, they provide superior mechanical and environmental resistance. Due to their flammable properties and lack of low-smoke characteristics, they are not intended for indoor building installations.

Euroclass Fca is the lowest fire reaction classification level in the CPR system. Cables in this class do not have confirmed performance parameters regarding flame spread, heat release, or smoke production.

Cables classified as Fca are not approved for permanent building installations covered by CPR regulations. Their use is limited to temporary, outdoor, or other installations that are not subject to building fire safety requirements.

In projects subject to CPR requirements, the use of cables with at least Eca classification is mandatory. The selection of the appropriate Euroclass should be based on project documentation and local fire safety regulations.

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.

The cable is supplied in a carton box as a 305 m (1000 ft) coil. This is the standard length used in the telecommunication industry, convenient for typical structured cabling installations.
