CAT5 100M,300M,500M CCA OUTDOOR

CAT5 Outdoor UV FTP CCA Networking Cable (100M, 300M, 500M)

CAT5 Outdoor UV FTP CCA Networking Cable

The CAT5 Outdoor UV FTP CCA networking cable is designed for network connections that run outside the building. It is offered in 100 metre, 300 metre and 500 metre lengths, so you can choose the reel that matches the distance you need to cover.

The cable uses FTP construction, meaning the twisted pairs are wrapped in a foil screen. This shielding helps protect the signal from outside interference, which is useful in environments with nearby electrical equipment, cables or other sources of noise. The conductors are CCA, which stands for copper-clad aluminium, a cost-conscious alternative to solid copper wire.

The outer jacket is UV-resistant, so the cable is suited to exposed runs where sunlight would otherwise weaken a standard cable jacket over time. This makes it a practical choice for links between buildings, cabling around car parks, gardens, yards and rooftops, and camera or access points mounted outdoors.

Because it is a CAT5 cable, it fits standard network setups that use RJ45 terminations and patch leads. It works well for general networking tasks such as connecting switches, routers, wireless access points and IP devices across longer distances. Plan your route, allow for weatherproof terminations and keep cable bends within normal limits to get the best results from the installation.

CAT5 Outdoor UV FTP CCA Networking Cable

The CAT5 Outdoor UV FTP CCA networking cable is a cable for structured networking outside the building. It is supplied in three lengths, 100 metres, 300 metres and 500 metres, which allows you to pick the reel that suits your installation. Whether you are linking two buildings, running a feed to an outdoor device or extending a network across a large site, this cable gives you a dependable backbone for data transmission.

Key features

  • Category 5 (CAT5) networking cable for standard Ethernet connections
  • FTP construction: twisted pairs wrapped in a foil screen for added protection against interference
  • CCA conductors: copper-clad aluminium, a lighter and lower-cost alternative to solid copper
  • UV-resistant outer jacket for prolonged exposure to sunlight
  • Outdoor-rated design for cable runs outside the building
  • Available lengths: 100M, 300M and 500M

Why shielding matters outdoors

Outdoor cable runs are exposed to more electrical noise than cables routed inside a building. Power lines, lighting, motors and radio transmitters can all introduce interference that degrades a network signal. The foil screen in an FTP cable helps reduce the effect of this noise, so the connection is more stable. For cameras, access control and wireless equipment that depend on a steady link, this can make a noticeable difference.

Why the copper-clad aluminium conductors are used

CCA conductors combine an aluminium core with a copper coating. They are lighter than solid copper and generally less expensive, which makes long cable runs more manageable. Buyers should be aware that CCA conductors do not carry signal or power in exactly the same way as solid copper, so they suit standard data network use rather than applications that need high current or the highest possible conductivity.

Outdoor durability

The UV-resistant jacket protects the cable from sun damage over time. Sunlight can make ordinary PVC jackets brittle and cracked, which may expose the conductors to moisture and wear. A UV-resistant jacket is therefore a sensible choice for any cable that will be left exposed to daylight, whether it is clipped to a wall, run along a fence or laid in open trunking.

Typical uses

  • Connecting buildings on the same site, such as a warehouse, office or outbuilding
  • Powering a network feed to outdoor IP cameras and access points
  • Linking switches and routers across a yard, car park or campus
  • Extending a wired network to a garden office, workshop or remote unit
  • General structured cabling where outdoor-rated network cable is required

Installation tips

Plan the route before you start and measure the distance with some margin. Use the correct terminations and tools for CAT5 cable, and keep the cable away from strong sources of interference where possible. Avoid sharp bends or pulling the cable beyond its rated tension, as this can damage the twisted pairs. Where the cable enters a building, use suitable weatherproof sealing so that moisture does not reach the connections. Test the link after installation to confirm that the connection is working as expected.

With three length options and an outdoor-ready design, the CAT5 Outdoor UV FTP CCA cable is a practical choice for anyone who needs a reliable network run outside the building.
