Networking cable for structured wiring

This range covers the data cable used for structured wiring at home and in the office, supplied on reels for longer runs between rooms, floors and outbuildings. It is the cable you pull through walls and trunking to feed wall points, switches and access points on a fixed network rather than relying on wireless alone.

Cat ratings explained

The range spans Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7. The category broadly reflects how much bandwidth the cable is built to carry, with the higher ratings aimed at faster links and longer headroom. Match the rating to the network gear at each end and to how long you expect the cabling to stay in place.

Shielding and construction

Builds run from unshielded U/UTP through to shielded F/UTP, U/FTP and S/FTP, where the foil or braid helps reject interference on noisier routes near mains or machinery. Conductors come in solid copper and copper-clad alternatives. Solid cores suit fixed runs that terminate at a wall point or patch panel.

Indoor and outdoor sheaths

LSZH-sheathed cable is intended for internal runs through occupied spaces, while PE-sheathed outdoor variants are built for external routes between buildings. Colours such as grey, black, lilac and orange help you tell circuits apart and keep a patch field readable.

How to choose

Pick the Cat rating for the speed you need now and the headroom you want later, then choose shielding to match the electrical noise on the route. Use an indoor sheath inside and an outdoor sheath for external runs, and order a reel length with spare for dressing and termination. Free UK delivery over £99, worldwide shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Cat ratings are available?
The range includes Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7. The category broadly reflects the bandwidth the cable is built to carry, so match it to your network gear and to how long the cabling needs to last.

What does U/UTP, F/UTP, U/FTP and S/FTP mean?
These describe the cable construction. U/UTP is unshielded, while F/UTP, U/FTP and S/FTP add foil or braid shielding to help reject interference on routes near mains cabling or machinery.

Can I run this cable outdoors?
Some builds use a PE outdoor sheath intended for external routes between buildings, while LSZH-sheathed cable is meant for internal runs. Choose the sheath to match where the cable will be installed.

What is the difference between solid copper and copper-clad conductors?
Solid copper conductors suit fixed structured runs that terminate at a wall point or patch panel. Copper-clad builds are an alternative for similar fixed runs. Pick the conductor to suit the installation and termination method.

Why are the cables different colours?
Colours such as grey, black, lilac and orange let you tell circuits apart on a patch field or in a bundle, which keeps a structured install easier to read and maintain.
