Solid Copper CAT5e Construction
The Rhino Guard CAT5e U/UTP-PE/Black uses solid bare copper conductors rather than copper-clad aluminium. This makes it a strong choice for professional fixed structured cabling applications where full copper cable is preferred.
The cable uses four conventional twisted pairs in a U/UTP construction. U/UTP means the individual twisted pairs do not have additional foil shielding and there is no overall braided or foil screen.
External-Grade Black Polyethylene Sheath
This model is specifically designed as an external-grade CAT5e cable. Its black polyethylene outer jacket is specified as UV and weather resistant, helping make the cable suitable for appropriate outdoor and duct-based network installations.
The external PE construction distinguishes this product from standard internal PVC or low-smoke network cables. For installations exposed to outdoor conditions, always ensure the complete cable route, containment and termination method are appropriate for the environment.
Black RAL 9005 Cable Finish
The Rhino Guard cable is finished with a black outer jacket specified as RAL 9005. The dark external-grade finish is particularly suitable for professional CCTV and networking installations where black external cabling is preferred for visual consistency or identification.
305m Easy-Pull Box
Each box contains 305 metres of CAT5e cable. The easy-pull boxed format helps installers dispense cable cleanly during multi-camera, network and structured cabling projects.
The cable is clearly metre marked, allowing installers to monitor cable usage and estimate how much cable remains during an installation.
Nylon Rip-Cord
An internal nylon rip-cord is included to assist with opening the outer cable sheath during termination and preparation. This can help installers prepare the cable more efficiently while reducing unnecessary cutting into the internal twisted pairs.
Designed for CCTV and Data Cabling
The Rhino Guard CAT5e U/UTP-PE/Black can be used as part of compatible Ethernet-based networking and IP CCTV installations. Typical applications can include external camera cabling, network infrastructure and other fixed data-cabling runs where external-grade CAT5e cable is appropriate.
Always check the connected equipment, network design, total cable length and installation environment before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Rhino Guard CAT5e U/UTP-PE/Black cable full copper?
Yes. The verified specification lists bare solid copper conductors rather than copper-clad aluminium.
How much cable is supplied?
Each box contains 305 metres of Rhino Guard CAT5e external network cable.
Is this an internal or external CAT5e cable?
This model is specifically described as an external and duct-grade CAT5e cable with a polyethylene outer sheath.
What type of outer sheath does it use?
The cable uses a black polyethylene / LDPE outer jacket designed for external-grade applications.
Is the cable UV resistant?
Yes. The product information describes the black polyethylene outer sheath as UV and weather resistant.
What does U/UTP mean?
U/UTP means the cable uses unshielded twisted pairs without additional foil or braided screening.
What colour is the cable?
The outer jacket is black and is specified as RAL 9005.
Does it have a rip-cord?
Yes. The verified specification lists an internal nylon rip-cord.
Does the cable have metre markings?
Yes. The cable is clearly metre marked to help installers monitor cable usage during installation.
Can this cable be used for CCTV installations?
Yes. It is suitable for use as CAT5e network cabling within compatible IP CCTV and data-network installations. The connected equipment and total cable run should always be checked before installation.
Can this cable be installed outdoors?
Yes. This particular Rhino Guard model is specified as external and duct-grade cable with a UV and weather resistant polyethylene outer sheath.
Can it be buried directly in the ground?
No direct-burial certification has been verified for this exact product. Where cable is installed underground, use an appropriate protected duct or containment system unless separate manufacturer documentation confirms direct-burial suitability.
