Cavo patch InLine F/UTP Cat.5e AWG26 CCA PVC grigio 100 m

Patch Cable InLine F/UTP Cat.5e 100m Grey is a twisted-pair network cable supplied in a 100 m hank for cutting and terminating to required lengths. It uses F/UTP shielding and AWG26 CCA (copper-clad aluminium) conductors. The cable is intended for Category 5e installations but full compliance over long runs (approximately over 50 m) is not guaranteed due to the CCA conductor material.

Advantages

The cable provides F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and is delivered in a 100 m hank for flexible on-site patching. AWG26 CCA conductors make the cable lightweight and cost-effective compared with solid copper alternatives. The neutral grey outer sheath suits visible indoor installations.

Suitable for

• Short to medium-length horizontal and patch connections in home or office networks
• On-site custom-length patch cables cut and terminated by installers
• Environments where reduced cost and lighter cable weight are priorities

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil around the pairs)
• Conductor type: AWG26 CCA (copper-clad aluminium)
• Length: 100 m (hank)
• Colour: Grey
• Connectors: none (sold as bulk cable)

How to use

Cut the required length from the 100 m hank and strip the outer sheath following standard cabling practice. Terminate the twisted pairs to appropriate RJ45 plugs or patch panels using compatible 8P8C connectors and tools, observing pair order for T568A or T568B wiring schemes. Test each terminated run with a network cable tester to verify continuity and pair integrity.

Recommendations

For runs longer than approximately 50 m or for installations requiring guaranteed Category 5e performance, use a cable with 100% copper (CU) conductors. Avoid installing CCA cable in environments where high attenuation or strict compliance is critical; ensure proper grounding of shielded components and avoid excessive bending or pulling forces when routing the cable.
