This kenable Cat5e FTP outdoor cable is for users needing a durable and reliable Ethernet connection in challenging environments, offering protection against interference and weather for up to Gigabit speeds. While versatile for various installations, its solid core construction means it's best suited for permanent runs rather than frequent flexing.

Yes, while designed for outdoor use, its construction is also suitable for indoor installations where robust shielding is needed.
As a Cat5e cable, it supports network speeds up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps). Actual performance depends on your network infrastructure.
Yes, the UV-resistant PE sheath and inner film are designed to protect the cable from moisture and environmental factors, making it suitable for direct burial.
No, this is a bulk cable on a reel and requires RJ45 connectors to be terminated onto each end using appropriate tools.
FTP stands for Foiled Twisted Pair. It indicates that the cable has foil shielding around the pairs of wires to reduce interference.
For optimal performance, the drain wire should be connected to the shielding of the RJ45 connector, and ideally, the cable's shield should be properly grounded at one or both ends of the run, depending on the installation requirements.
It has a solid copper core, which makes it less flexible than stranded Ethernet cables. It is best suited for permanent installations and should not be subjected to frequent bending or movement.
Double-check both ends for correct RJ45 connector termination. Ensure all 8 wires are in the correct order and fully seated. Verify the foil shield and drain wire are properly connected to the connector's shielding.
Inspect the cable for any physical damage, sharp bends, or kinks. Ensure the cable shielding is properly grounded at one or both ends if required by your installation environment. Test with a known good cable to rule out connected devices.
Ensure you are using RJ45 FTP connectors designed for shielded, solid-core cable. A good quality crimping tool is essential. Gently untwist pairs only as much as necessary for insertion.
This cable is approximately 6mm thick. Use 6mm cable clips specifically designed for this cable diameter. Standard clips may be too small.
Setup:
This is a bulk cable on a reel and requires termination with appropriate RJ45 connectors. Ensure you have the necessary tools, including an RJ45 crimping tool and compatible Cat5e FTP connectors. For optimal shielding performance, use connectors designed for shielded cable and ensure the drain wire is properly connected to the shield of the connector.
Compatibility:
This Cat5e cable is backward compatible with Cat5 and forward compatible with Cat6 networks, though speeds will be limited by the lowest Cat rating in the chain. It works with standard Ethernet network devices, including routers, switches, network cameras, computers, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices.
