CAT5e Cable

UTP Cat5e Dark-gray

CAT5E PURE COPPER CCA 1000FT 305M UTP NETWORK ETHERNET CABLE BULK WIRE 24 AWG LAN Internet Lead

UTP Cat5e Dark-gray is built as a UTP CAT5e bare copper cable within the LANP CAT5e Cable range. The original specification reads: CAT5E PURE COPPER CCA 1000FT 305M UTP NETWORK ETHERNET CABLE BULK WIRE 24 AWG LAN Internet Lead.

It is supplied in Grey, packed as 305 m, 1000 ft. It is available from a 100 m sample reel through to 50,000 m production runs, with typical bulk lead times of 3-7 days.

Key Benefits

Why Buyers Specify This Line

Bare Copper Conductor

UTP Cat5e Dark-gray uses a bare copper conductor, so loop resistance stays where the cat5e cable specification says it should be instead of climbing with run length.

Unshielded Build

UTP Cat5e Dark-gray is UTP. Smaller bend radius, quicker to terminate, and no earthing path to get wrong at the patch panel.

24 AWG Conductor

Conductor size on UTP Cat5e Dark-gray is 24 AWG, and it is verified by resistance measurement on every batch rather than taken from the extruder setting.

Grey Jacket

UTP Cat5e Dark-gray is catalogued in grey, which is how most sites keep this service separate from everything else sharing the same containment.

OEM Branding Available

From 1 km we print your brand on UTP Cat5e Dark-gray rather than putting a sticker on the carton. Packaging design support comes with it.

Tested Before It Ships

Testing on UTP Cat5e Dark-gray happens at the factory, not at your warehouse: continuity end to end, conductor resistance, and dielectric strength on the finished cable.

Technical Features

  • Built to the CAT5e specification
  • UTP — unshielded twisted pair
  • Jacket printed with specification and rating as standard

Materials

  • Conductor: bare copper or CCA (copper-clad aluminium)

Who It Is For

  • Contractors fitting out offices, schools and retail units
  • CCTV and access control installers running PoE drops
  • Wholesalers stocking a single high-turnover bulk line
  • Housebuilders wiring structured cabling into new homes

Problems It Solves

  • PoE devices dropping out at the far end of long horizontal runs
  • CCA supplied against a bare copper line item
  • Jacket print that rubs off before the installer records the drum number
  • Pull boxes that tangle halfway through a ceiling run

Application Scenarios

  • Horizontal drops to desks, access points and IP phones
  • PoE camera runs in car parks and corridors
  • Temporary event and site networks that get re-pulled often
  • Structured cabling in residential developments

Compared With Nearby Specifications

AlternativeHow it differs
FTP Cat5e BlueSame family, different screening: this one is UTP where that one is FTP. Screening changes outside diameter, bend radius and the hardware the link has to terminate into.

Use Guide

Installing It Without Losing Performance

  • Pull UTP Cat5e Dark-gray at a steady, low tension. Pair geometry stretched during installation cannot be recovered, and it shows up as a return loss failure at certification.
  • Terminate UTP Cat5e Dark-gray with the twist maintained as close to the contact as possible. This single habit accounts for most first-time certification passes.
  • Keep UTP Cat5e Dark-gray off sharp edges and out of tight bends. Impedance changes at a deformed bend do not average out over the link.

Before a first bulk order of UTP Cat5e Dark-gray: request a sample reel. The approved sample becomes the reference every later production lot of this specification is checked against.

Standard packing for UTP Cat5e Dark-gray is 305 m, 1000 ft; reel or coil length can change on a production run if your installers want a different unit.

Can UTP Cat5e Dark-gray be supplied in another jacket colour?

The stocked jacket on UTP Cat5e Dark-gray is grey. If your market uses a different identification code, set it with the order alongside the print text.

What is the minimum order and lead time for UTP Cat5e Dark-gray?
