Lapp ETHERLINE FD P Cat. 5e Cat5e Ethernet Cable, 100 m, Water blue Male to Male, Tin Plated Copper Alloy Braid

Lapp ETHERLINE FD P Cat. 5e Series Ethernet Cable, 100m Cable Length, Cat5e LAN Category - 2170489

This ethernet cable is a shielded Cat5e twisted-pair cable designed for field installation and data transmission in industrial and hazardous-area contexts. It provides a male-to-male connection over a continuous 100m length, with a flexible thermoplastic elastomer outer covering in water‑blue for easy identification in wiring runs.

Features and Benefits:

• Cat5e performance delivering standardised data transmission rates
  Tin-plated copper‑alloy braid shielding reducing electromagnetic interference
  125V rating supporting low‑voltage network equipment
  Male-to-male connectors enabling straightforward patching between devices
  Thermoplastic elastomer jacket offering flexible handling and abrasion resistance

Applications

• Suitable for industrial LAN backbone and device interconnects
  Ideal for fieldbus and factory automation cabling runs
  Used with patch panels and switches in plant environments
  Can be used for Ethernet connections in certified hazardous zones
  Suitable for visible cable runs where colour identification is needed

How is the cable construction arranged to mitigate interference?

A tin-plated copper‑alloy braid surrounds the pair conductors, providing a continuous shield to limit external electromagnetic disturbances.

What operating voltage is appropriate for this cable?

It is specified for use at 125V, matching the requirements of typical low‑voltage networking and industrial control equipment.

Which standards does the cable conform to for structured cabling?

The cable meets EN 50173-3 and ISO/IEC 24702 specifications relevant to Cat5e structured network installations.

What material considerations affect installation flexibility?

The outer sheath is made from a thermoplastic elastomer, which balances pliability for routing with resistance to mechanical wear.
