Rhino Guard CAT5e U/UTP LSHF Purple Solid Copper Cable – 305m
The Rhino Guard CAT5e U/UTP-LSHF/Purple is a professional 305 metre Category 5e network cable designed for internal data, structured cabling and compatible CCTV installations. It combines solid copper conductors with an unshielded twisted-pair construction and a distinctive purple low-smoke halogen-free outer sheath.
Supplied in an easy-pull 305m dispensing box, the cable is designed for fixed network cabling projects where reliable solid copper construction and a low-smoke halogen-free sheath are required. Clear metre markings also help installers monitor cable usage during multi-run installations.

Solid Copper CAT5e Construction
This Rhino Guard CAT5e cable uses solid bare copper conductors rather than copper-clad aluminium. Solid copper construction makes it suitable for professional fixed structured cabling projects where conductor quality and consistent cable performance are important.
The cable uses four conventional twisted pairs within a U/UTP construction. U/UTP means the cable does not use additional foil or braided shielding around the twisted pairs.
Low-Smoke Halogen-Free Purple Sheath
The outer jacket is manufactured from low-smoke halogen-free material, commonly referred to as LSHF or LSZH. This type of sheath is designed to reduce smoke and halogen emissions compared with conventional PVC cabling if exposed to fire.
The purple outer sheath also makes this cable particularly easy to identify within larger structured cabling installations where different cable types, services or network segments need to be visually separated.
Designed for Internal Network and CCTV Cabling
The Rhino Guard CAT5e U/UTP-LSHF/Purple cable is designed for internal data and CCTV transmission applications. It can be used as part of compatible structured network installations for equipment such as IP cameras, network switches, routers, patch panels and other Ethernet-based equipment where Category 5e cabling is appropriate.
Installers should always confirm the requirements of the connected equipment, cable-run length, network standard and building specification before installation.
305m Easy-Pull Box
Each box contains 305 metres of cable and is designed for convenient dispensing during installation. The cable is metre marked, helping installers keep track of cable usage and estimate the amount remaining during larger projects.
The boxed format is especially useful when installing multiple CCTV camera runs, network points or structured cabling routes from a central location.
Professional Cable Identification
The distinctive purple LSHF sheath provides a clear visual difference from conventional grey, white or black Ethernet cables. This can make cable identification easier inside racks, containment systems, offices, commercial premises and CCTV installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Rhino Guard cable CAT5e?
Yes. This product is a Category 5e U/UTP network cable supplied in a 305m easy-pull box.
Is the cable full copper?
Yes. The verified specification lists solid bare copper conductors rather than copper-clad aluminium.
What does U/UTP mean?
U/UTP means the cable uses unshielded twisted pairs without an additional overall foil or braided screen.
Is this an LSHF or LSZH cable?
Yes. The purple outer sheath is specified as low-smoke halogen-free. LSHF and LSZH are commonly used terms for this type of cable construction.
What colour is the cable?
The cable has a purple outer jacket, specified as approximately RAL 4005.
How much cable is supplied?
Each box contains 305 metres of CAT5e network cable.
Does the cable have metre markings?
Yes. The cable is clearly metre marked to help installers track cable usage during installation.
Does it include a rip-cord?
Yes. The verified specification lists an internal nylon rip-cord.
Can this cable be used for CCTV?
Yes, it is specified for internal data and CCTV transmission applications. Compatibility should still be checked against the particular cameras, switches, recorders and network design being installed.
Is this cable intended for outdoor use?
No outdoor or direct-burial specification has been verified for this model. It should be treated as an internal LSHF network cable unless separate manufacturer documentation confirms otherwise.
Is this cable PVC?
No. This particular purple model is specified with an LSHF/LSZH outer sheath rather than a conventional PVC jacket.
Is this CCA cable?
No. The verified specification states that the conductors are solid bare copper.
