F/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. The unshielded version (U/UTP) is designed in its electrophysical parameters (NEXT, FEXT, etc.) to be used for Gigabit Ethernet despite the lack of shielding. 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 locking clip on the connector. This allows the cables to be stored and handled without getting the clips tangled.

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), making this cable significantly more cost-effective compared to pure copper cables.
