Product Overview
Cat 5 is part of the coaxial cable range built by Ever Expresslink Limited in Ningbo, China.
It is one of 3 items in this range. A typical application is structured copper cabling runs in a building. What the range is built to give you there: drum lengths suited to a project rather than a repair.
The problem it addresses is mixed cable types in one system with different impedance. A practical note that applies across this range: respect the cable's minimum bend radius, including at the connector. Specifications for a particular configuration are confirmed on the quotation rather than assumed from the designation.
Key Benefits
- Supplied as Cat 5, so the part you receive matches the designation you ordered against
- Consistent impedance along the run
- Data cable supplied from the same source as the RF lines
- Drum lengths suited to a project rather than a repair
- Super flex construction that routes in tight spaces
Problems It Solves
- Data cable that fails certification after installation
- Feeder runs whose loss was never calculated before the cable was ordered
- Rigid feeder that cannot be routed around real obstructions
- Water ingress into a feeder run that was not properly sealed
Application Scenarios
- Broadcast and CATV distribution
- Structured copper cabling runs in a building
- Jumper fabrication at the equipment end
- Mast and rooftop feeder runs to antennas
Who It Is For
- Wireless and mobile network installation contractors
- Broadcast and CATV network builders
- Building services and structured cabling teams
- Distributed antenna system integrators
Technical Features
- Standard drum lengths
- Compatible with the matching connector range
- 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch super flex feeder sizes
- Corrugated construction for repeated bending
Materials
- Copper conductor and outer conductor

Handling Cat 5
Before You Order
- Calculate the loss over the actual route length before ordering
- Respect the cable's minimum bend radius, including at the connector
- Seal every outdoor connection against water ingress
In Service
- Support the run at the manufacturer's stated spacing
- Sweep the completed run rather than assuming it is good
- Keep impedance consistent through every part of the system
Questions About Cat 5
What do you need from us to quote Cat 5?
The quantity, the destination and anything that has to match on your side: connector and polish at each end, fiber mode and core size, and length where the item is an assembly. If you are matching a part you already buy, send the sample and we will quote against it.
Do you supply pre-terminated jumpers?
Yes, jumper assemblies can be supplied cut and connectorised with the matching connector range, which removes the most error-prone step from the site work.
What drum lengths are available?
Standard drum lengths are stocked and custom lengths can be cut for a project. Tell us the total run length and the number of runs and we will advise the most economical drum size.
Is the data cable certified to a category rating?
Category rated data cable is supplied to the stated specification. Confirm the category and the jacket rating your installation requires when you enquire.
What is super flex feeder and when should I use it?
It is a corrugated feeder built to bend more tightly than standard feeder of the same size. Use it where the route has real obstructions and a standard cable would need a longer path or extra jumpers.
