BLACKBOX CAT5E GIGABASE cavo F/UTP LSZH - grigio, 5M

Ethernet patch cable engineered for high-speed Gigabit networking, featuring F/UTP shielding and a low-smoke zero-halogen jacket for safe, reliable performance in dense environments. The BLACK BOX CAT5e Gigabase delivers full 1000BASE-T throughput over 5 meters, making it an ideal choice for connecting workstations, access points, and IP devices where fire safety and signal integrity are critical.

Advantages

Foil shielding (F/UTP) protects against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable connections even near power lines or industrial equipment. The LSZH jacket emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogens when exposed to fire, improving safety in offices, schools, and public buildings. Stranded 24 AWG bare copper conductors provide excellent flexibility for tight bends and frequent re‑patching, while the grey jacket blends seamlessly into modern interiors.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet links in offices, data centers, and home networks
• VoIP phones, IP cameras, and wireless access points requiring PoE
• Areas with strict fire safety regulations (LSZH compliance)
• High‑density patching where EMI shielding is essential
