UTP Cables: Safe and Stable Connections for Professional Networks
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable, also known as Ethernet cable, network cable or RJ45 cable, is an essential component in any telecommunications installation. Its design, based on twisted pairs, allows data to be transmitted efficiently, minimizing electromagnetic interference and guaranteeing a stable connection.
In our online store you will find a wide selection of approved UTP cables, ideal for both domestic environments and professional installations that require secure, high-speed connections.
Looking for a resistant, high quality cable?
Discover our category 6 and higher cables, designed according to ICT2 standards and with Euroclass Dca classification to minimize fire risks.
What is a UTP Cable and How Does It Work?
UTP cable is a type of cable composed of pairs of copper wires twisted together. This twisting reduces external interference and improves signal quality during data transmission.
Common uses of UTP cable:
- Connection to routers, switches and PLCs.
- Closed-circuit television (CCTV) installations.
- Interconnection of video surveillance devices through baluns.
- Door entry and video door entry infrastructures with less than 8 wires.
- HDMI extenders to transmit video signal over long distances.
ICT Approved UTP Cable
According to ICT regulations, all telecommunications infrastructure must be composed of at least category 6 cables. The CPR requirements demand that the interior cabling must be Euroclass low fire risk: Class Dca or higher.
Generally cables are distinguished by categories, depending on the speed and frequency at which the cable is capable of transmitting. In the store we have ethernet cables from CAT5 and CAT6 onwards, the latter being twice as fast as the former.
When purchasing network cable, special care must be taken when choosing connectors. The connector and cable categories must match to ensure that there is no reduction in data transmission speed due to a bottleneck.
Normally gray sheathed cable is for indoor, black for outdoor, and violet or purple halogen-free. Due to the rise of rural internet installation companies, where it is generally necessary to make an outdoor installation, there is a demand for white outdoor UTP cable, which you can also find on our website.
We have UTP cable in reels of 100meters, 305meters, 500meters up to 1000meters. Some models can be ordered cut to length.
Frequently Asked Questions about UTP Cables
1. Can I use a CAT5e cable for a fiber optic network?
Yes, but it is not recommended. CAT5e cables support speeds of up to 1 Gbps, while fiber connections typically offer 300 Mbps, 600 Mbps or 1 Gbps. To take full advantage of the speed, opt for a CAT6 cable or higher.
2. What is the difference between UTP and FTP?
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair): Unshielded, ideal for low interference environments.
FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair): Includes a metal mesh that protects against electromagnetic interference, recommended for installations near industrial machinery.
3. Can I use UTP cable to install surveillance cameras?
Yes, provided that suitable baluns are used to convert analog signals into data compatible with the network cable.

What Category of UTP Cable Do You Need?
UTP cables are classified into different categories according to their transmission capacity.
| Category | Maximum Speed | Bandwidth | Application |
| CAT5e | 1 Gbps | 100 MHz | Basic home networks |
| CAT6 | 1 Gbps (10 Gbps max. up to 55 m) | 250 MHz | Offices and professional networks |
| CAT6A | 10 Gbps | 500 MHz | Data centers and CCTV |
| CAT7 | 10 Gbps | 600 MHz | Critical facilities |
Recommendation: For current network projects, choose CAT6 or higher to ensure optimal performance.
Common UTP Cable Applications
-
Local Area Network (LAN) connections: Direct connection between computers, routers and switches.
- CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) installations:
- Video transmission through baluns.
- Common use in IP cameras and PoE (Power over Ethernet) systems.
- Door entry and video door entry systems:
- Analog 4+N systems use 5 wires, so a UTP cable with 4 pairs is an efficient option.
- Long distance HDMI transmission:
- Distances of up to 60 meters can be achieved using HDMI extenders over UTP cable.
- ICT telecommunication infrastructures:
- Projects in new buildings.
- Approved cables of category 6 and higher.
