RS PRO, 100m Cat5e, Grey, U/UTP Unshielded, Unterminated PVC Sheath

RS Pro 4 Pair category 5e, stranded twisted-pair data cables for use in data networking and structured wiring systems with speeds of up to 100 Mbits/s.

Meets or exceeds all Cat5e standards

This RS Pro Cat5e cable can be used for computer networks such as Power Over Ethernet (POE).

Cat5 and Cat5e are virtually identical and cannot be told apart by thickness, colour or material. Cat5e cables sometimes have a more durable protective jacket making them suitable for use for many more years than a Cat5 cable. Within the jacket the wiring inside tends to be much tightly twisted making them more resistant to crosstalk.
Cat5e cables are able to support networks that run up to 1 gigabyte per second making them ideal for use within IT where the fast transference of data is essential.
Cat5e cables also have a higher bandwidth of 350 MHz which means they can carry a lot more information from one system to another than Cat5 cables can.

Crosstalk is the electromagnetic interference that occurs between cables when they are close to each other. This interference can lead to errors in data transmission.
