U/UTP CCA - Patch cable, Cat.5e (100MHz) in a snagless design with gold-plated contacts. Suitable for Ethernet up to Gigabit Ethernet (1GBase-T).

Cat.5e cable designed for operating frequencies up to 100MHz. With overall shielding implemented as foil shield (F/UTP), this type of cable has reliably served in many installations for decades in both the prosumer and professional segments, as it can be used without issues for Gigabit Ethernet. The cables are individually packaged in a polybag.

The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable, corrosion-free connections over very long periods. The snagless clip protection prevents the breaking or tearing of the latch clip on the connector. This allows the cables to be stored and handled without getting tangled with the clips.

The high frequencies used in networking cause high current loads in the outer layers of the conductors due to the skin effect, while the conductor cores are only very lightly loaded electrically. This enables the use of conductor material made from copper-clad aluminum (CCA), allowing this cable to be offered at a significantly lower cost compared to pure copper cables.
