The CAT5-305-GEN is a budget-friendly, 305-meter bulk Ethernet cable designed for general-purpose indoor networking. Utilising Copper Clad Aluminium (CCA) conductors, this cable provides a cost-effective alternative to solid bare copper for moderate-speed data transmission and basic Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications in residential and small office environments.
Technical Specifications
- Model Number: CAT5-305-GEN
- Cable Category: CAT5e
- Conductor Material: CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium)
- Configuration: 8 Conductors (4 Twisted Pairs)
- Gauge: 24 AWG
- Core Type: Solid Core
- Jacket Material: PVC (Indoor Use)
- Length: 305m (1000ft) Pull-Box
Key Features
- Cost-Effective Networking: Engineered as a high-value solution for everyday LAN installations, analogue CCTV, and voice applications.
- Gigabit Performance: Supports data transfer rates up to 1000Mbps (1Gbps) at frequencies up to 100MHz (best suited for shorter to moderate distance runs).
- PoE Compatibility: Capable of supporting Power over Ethernet for low-power devices like IP cameras; however, due to the higher resistance of CCA compared to pure copper, it is not recommended for high-power, long-distance PoE deployments.
- Installation Friendly: Housed in an “easy-pull” box with clear meter-marking to simplify measuring and cutting for custom cable runs.
Note: This cable utilises CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium) conductors. For mission-critical infrastructure, high-density PoE, or environments requiring strict TIA/EIA performance standards, we recommend using solid bare copper cabling.
