NETSET BOX UTP 5e cable far exceeds the requirements for Category 5e twisted pair cables.

Close-up

NETSET BOX UTP CAT 5e E1408 cable is the highest-quality twisted pair cable designed for professional data transmission systems inside buildings (structural wiring, LANs).

NETSET cable is the latest generation of UTP twisted pair cables. Its external diameter has been reduced to 5.0 mm, which considerably facilitates insertion of the cable into ducts and pipes. Special insulation material makes it easier to attach RJ-45 connectors.

Main features of NETSET UTP cat 5e cable E1408:

NETSET UTP cat 5e E1408 LAN cable is manufactured in compliance with:
IEC 61156-6 (2000), ISO/IEC 11801 (2000), ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A (1995), EN 50173 (1999), yd/t1019-2001 norms.

The manufacturer guarantees stability of the parameters given in the "Specifications" at least for six years, on the condition that the cable is packed, transported, installed, and used according to adequate European norms (among others: EN 50174-1), within the permissible environmental conditions (see the "Specifications" below).

The NETSET UTP cat 5e E1408 cable can be used in a wide temperature range: -20...+70 ^oC, and installed between 0 and +50 ^oC. Minimum bending radius factor (radius to diameter ratio) is 8.
