100m CAT5e Pro HD Cable

To make the cable suitable for most installations, it is available with either a black or white outer sheath so it looks right on either white or dark skirting boards or building fascias.

The cores are colour coded in a meaningful and engineer-friendly colour code as below:

• Pair 1 - Orange & White
• Pair 2 - Green & White
• Pair 3 - Blue & White
• Pair 4 - Brown & White

CAT5e(nhanced): Solid Copper Cores & HD Ready

1.4 x longer cable runs than CCA and faster transmission than standard CAT5 too (up to 1000Mbps) - ideal for use with HD CCTV cameras.

Twisted Pair

Uniform precision twists improve resistance to EMI interference.

PE Sleeve

Easy to run out, fexible and lightweight cable that's durable too.

Low Smoke + Zero Halogen (LSZH)

Not just low smoke but zero halogen means NO traces of hydrogen chloride, the toxic chemical that burns black smoke and causes throat ulcers. LSZH helps comply with the latest building regulations too by producing only small amounts of light smoke if burnt!.

Tough Wooden Drums

Antihum cable is supplied on wooden reels which won't fall apart in the back of your van, especially when wet like cardboard!

Handy 1M Length Markers

Tells you exactly how much cabling you're using and how much you have left.

Using CAT5 Cable with Co-ax Cameras

Whereas co-ax cables are classed as an "unbalanced" mode of video transmission, CAT5e twisted pair is known as a balanced mode. In this balanced mode, the two cores carrying the video signal are balanced to a particular reference point and the cable twists enable a uniformed rejection of interference, effectively cancelling it out. To produce a balanced signal, equipment known as BALUNs are used, standing for BALanced to UN balanced.

The CAT5e cable can be used for short distances without baluns but they do obviously improve the cable's performance resulting in a better picture quality.
