Slim Specs

Full Copper Construction for Reliable Performance

The TARGET CAT5e cable uses full copper conductors rather than copper-clad aluminium (CCA), ensuring better signal integrity and lower resistance. This makes it ideal for Gigabit Ethernet applications where consistent performance matters. The 26AWG gauge provides a good balance between flexibility and signal quality.

Moulded Boot Design for Durability

Each end features a moulded boot that protects the connection point from physical stress and bending. This design prevents the RJ45 connectors from loosening over time, extending the cable’s lifespan in high-traffic areas. The boots also make unplugging easier without damaging the cable.

UTP Design for Standard Network Setups

As an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, this TARGET product follows the standard approach for most Ethernet installations. The twisted pairs reject electromagnetic interference naturally, making it suitable for typical office and home environments. The Cat5e specification supports speeds up to 1000 Mbps at 100 MHz.

Compliant with Industry Standards

This cable meets ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA 568B.2 standards, ensuring compatibility with networking equipment worldwide. The CM (UL) C(UL) 4P rating indicates it meets safety standards for general purpose use in both US and Canadian installations.
