Cable CAT5e (Category 5 enhanced) is a highly reliable cable for data transfer and Ethernet networks. This cable was created to furnish a good result for home or office network installations and due to its properties, allow supporting 1000BASE-T (1 Gbps) as well as 100 MHz bandwidth.
To install the necessary cabling and networking infrastructure for a small home office, upgrade the cabling infrastructure for commercial cabling, or obtain cost-effective but very reliable connectivity, these cables provide a perfect compromise between speed, safety, and flexibility in use.
CAT5e cable is an heightened version of the original CAT5 standard, founded on the enhanced data transmission capabilities, and almost no crosstalk. It is used for twisted pair copper wiring and assumes gigabit and above Ethernet protocols. Data, voice, and power (PoE) applications need its support.
✅ Particular performance: Standard for 100 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps transmission distance (100 m).
CAT5e is ideal for a wide variety of networking and low-voltage applications:
Home & Office Networks
Such as website, file sharing, VoIP, and video
Gigabit Ethernet Connectivity
Acting as the foundation for 100/1000 Mbps connection, supporting fast LAN environment.
Voice and Data Integration
Primarily used for structured cabling on telephone systems and data networks.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
An option to power such IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones and many other devices are offered by this technology.
Multimedia Applications
Allowing for smart homes, commercial networks, and other data transfer for audio and video streaming.
Device Interconnection
Make LAN connections with computers, network routers, switches, and various other networking devices.
Feature | CAT5e Cable Specification |
Max Data Rate | Up to 1 Gbps |
Max Distance | 100 meters (328 feet) |
Bandwidth | 100 MHz |
Cable Type | 4 twisted pairs |
This leads us to conclude that CAT5e is a low-cost option for extremely reliable and fast networking without the loss of quality.
Different types of CAT5e cables exist in order to correspond to various conditions:
U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
For practical use, cheaper to produce, generally used for common purposes.
F/UTP (Foil Shielded)
The foil shield helps to protect from EMI, making it suitable for regions where moderate interference may be present.
SF/UTP (Shielded Foil + Braiding)
Because of great shielding, this type, highly specified for exposed environments such as data center or industrial, helps minimize the levels of interference.
Jacket Options:
PVC – Ordinary utilitarian functions
PE – Outdoor, resistant to UV, moisture
LSZH – Fire-safe, environmentally-friendly by releasing no halogen, zero smoke
CM / CMR / CMP – To be compliant with commercial use, riser space, and plenum space fire safety regulations
Here’s a quick overview of popular models:
Code | Sheath | Rating | Application | Feature |
PVC | – | Indoor | Cost-effective | |
PVC | CMR | Riser | Fire-safe riser | |
PE | – | Aerial Outdoor | UV resistant | |
PVC | – | PoE | 30V PoE support |
Code | Sheath | Rating | Application | Feature |
PVC | – | Indoor | EMI protection | |
CMP | UL-CMP | Plenum spaces | Fire-safe plenum | |
PVC | – | Aerial in/out | Versatile aerial |
Code | Sheath | Rating | Application | Feature |
PVC | – | Indoor | Budget EMI shielding | |
CMP | UL-CMP | Plenum | EMI + fire-safe |

Our testing gear includes popular and industry-preferred equipment in the quality control area, such as:
Test Equipment Sizing and Selection
We choose the following kinds of test instruments:
Difficulties: Channel and link tests to establish signal integrity, insertion and return loss, SNR, and crosstalk
Network Analyzer:
Analysts are required to have a superior cable performance testing at long distances of 100m, 305m, and longer.
When choosing CAT5e, consider:
Feature | Best Option |
Environment | Indoor (PVC/LSZH), Outdoor (PE), Plenum (CMP) |
Shielding | F/UTP or SF/UTP for EMI-prone areas |
Conductor | Bare Copper for stable transmission |
Application | PoE, Surveillance, Data, Voice |
Budget | Choose CCA for cost efficiency |
