Cat5e Category 5e Shielded Outdoor Armored Network Cable, 350MHz, 24AWG, PVC CMR, FTP

Category 5e outdoor armored network cable (CAT5e Outdoor Armored) with transmission rate 1000Mbps, frequency bandwidth 100MHz, transmission distance within 100m and conductor diameter approx. 0.51mm; the key feature is an armor layer (e.g. steel tape / steel wire) plus a waterproof and UV-resistant jacket. Applications focus on harsh outdoor environments: Outdoor surveillance cabling for parks and residential communities, resisting rain, wind and UV damage. Connection of outdoor WiFi base stations and access control systems, adapting to hot and cold climates. Networking of factory outdoor equipment; the armor layer protects against rodent gnawing and mechanical strain.
