Key Benefits

Why Buyers Specify This Line

FTP Screening

FTP construction gives FTP Cat5e Gray a defined screening path. Unbonded it does nothing, so specify shielded panels and cords with it.

Grey Jacket

FTP Cat5e Gray is catalogued in grey, which is how most sites keep this service separate from everything else sharing the same containment.

Packed As You Handle It

FTP Cat5e Gray ships as 1000 ft, so the format matches how the cable is actually handled on site rather than how it is easiest to wind.

OEM Branding Available

OEM on FTP Cat5e Gray means print on the cable itself from 1 km — still readable when an electrician pulls the last ten metres off the drum.

Tested Before It Ships

Testing on FTP Cat5e Gray happens at the factory, not at your warehouse: continuity end to end, conductor resistance, and dielectric strength on the finished cable.

Use Guide

Installing It Without Losing Performance

  • Do not force FTP Cat5e Gray through a route. Stretching the conductors changes the twist geometry permanently, and the damage is invisible until the tester finds it.
  • Keep untwist length to the minimum the connector allows when terminating FTP Cat5e Gray — it is the most common reason a field-terminated link fails while a factory cord on the same run passes.
  • Respect the bend radius on FTP Cat5e Gray, especially in the last stretch into the patch panel where a full bundle is being dressed into a tight space.
  • Bond the FTP screen on FTP Cat5e Gray to a defined earth path at the patch panel. An unbonded screen adds cost and delivers nothing.

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