Solarix FTP cable Cat5e licna (SXKL-5E-FTP-PVC-GY) meter

Solarix Cat5e FTP Stranded Cable — Shielded Cable for Patch Cord Assemblies

This cable is designed for users seeking a flexible, shielded solution for creating patch cords. Its aluminum foil shielding protects against static electricity and offers enhanced surge protection—a critical feature when connecting outdoor units to grounded equipment, such as switches or computers. Featuring a stranded design—where each conductor consists of seven thin copper wires, each with a diameter of 0.18 mm —the cable is highly flexible and easy to install. Unlike UTP cables, it delivers more reliable performance in environments with higher levels of interference.

Shielding and Interference Resistance

The Solarix Cat5e FTP cable features aluminum foil shielding that encompasses all four wire pairs. This design minimizes the impact of electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable signal transmission even in demanding conditions. Furthermore, the shielding facilitates a conductive path between outdoor equipment and grounded components, thereby enhancing protection against electrical surges.

Construction and Flexibility

The cable’s stranded construction—with each conductor composed of seven 0.18 mm diameter copper wires —ensures excellent flexibility. This makes it ideal for applications requiring frequent handling or bending, such as the fabrication of patch cords. Additionally, the cable’s 6.1 mm diameter and grey PVC jacket provide both durability and ease of handling. ### Technical Specifications
