Connectix Cat5e External UTP Solid Core Network Cable Black 305M

Connectix Cat5e External UTP Solid Core Network Cable — Black, 305m

This is a solid core Cat5e U/UTP cable rated for outdoor installation, supplied on a 305m drum with a black LDPE outer sheath.

For UK installers this is the cable to reach for when a run leaves the building — building-to-building links, outdoor CCTV IP camera drops, or any external wall, duct or catenary route where an internal-grade cable won't hold up.

Key specs

• Category: Cat5e, meets and exceeds TIA Category 5e specification
• Conductor: solid core, all four pairs
• Construction: U/UTP (unscreened twisted pair)
• Sheath: LDPE, for weather resistance on external routes
• Colour: black
• Length: 305m drum

Where it goes

• Underground and surface ducts
• Catenary (suspended support wire) runs
• External wall-mounted runs
• Building-to-building network links

Selecting for the job

Solid core construction is the right call for fixed, permanent runs rather than patch leads — pair it with Cat5e patch panels and modules at each termination point for a consistent link. This makes it a natural fit for extending a CCTV IP camera network out to an external pole, wall camera, or a separate building on the same site, alongside standard structured cabling infrastructure work in commercial and industrial premises.

Solid core cable is not designed for repeated flexing — plan terminations at fixed points rather than patching directly with this cable.
