Introduction
Opterna 4 pair unshielded category 5e solid cable (U/UTP) has been designed for indoor applications
and is available in PVC and LSZH jackets. The cable supports a various types of networking applications
such as voice, data, video, security and IP based cameras
The cable covers the category 5e requirements for unshielded twisted pair cables of 100 Ω and is
characterized up to 100 MHz, suitable for transmitting data over local area networks (LANs).
The cable’s 8 conductors (4-Pairs) are of solid bare copper with high density polyethylene (HDPE)
insulation and a PVC/LSZH jacket. Two insulated conductors are twisted together to form a pair and
the four pairs with different twist ratio are laid up to form the basic cable unit.
