Patchcord U/UTP Cat.5e PVC 3.0m yellow ALANTEC KKU5ZOL3

Universal connection cable cat. 5e for LAN networks and more

This patch cord from ALANTEC, made in category 5e, is a reliable solution for building and expanding computer networks. It will work both in home installations and in more demanding office or industrial environments. Its U/UTP (unshielded) construction and PVC coating provide good flexibility and ease of installation. The yellow color makes it easy to identify the cable in the installation.

Construction and application

The patch cord is used to connect network devices such as computers, switches, routers or patch panels. Thanks to category 5e, it enables data transmission at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). The cable is made of four twisted pairs of copper wires, which ensures stable signal transmission. Stranded wires make it easier to bend and lay the cable, and polyethylene insulation protects against interference.

These cables are used in:

• Cross-connections in distribution points
• Subscriber connections
• Building LAN (Local Area Network)
• Connecting IP cameras in CCTV systems
• Connecting network devices in small and medium-sized offices

Key features and benefits

• Category 5e: Provides stable data transmission at speeds up to 1 Gbps, sufficient for most home and office applications.
• U/UTP construction: Means no shielding, which translates to a lower price and greater cable flexibility. However, remember to maintain an appropriate distance from sources of electromagnetic interference during installation.
• PVC coating: Provides durability and resistance to mechanical damage, although it emits smoke in the event of a fire – consider LSOH alternatives in critical applications.
• Yellow color: Makes it easy to identify the cable in the installation, which is especially useful when servicing or expanding the network.
• Length 3 meters: Optimal length for most typical connections.
• ALANTEC brand: Guarantee of quality from a Polish manufacturer of structured cabling systems A-LAN Technologie. The company offers multi-year warranties on its products.
• AWG 4x2x26/7 cross-section: Specifies the wire thickness affecting the electrical properties of the cable.
