Description
Belden 1304A B59 CatSnake® Category 5E Tactical Cable is a Category 5e data cable with 4 bonded-pair construction and U/UTP design for demanding indoor/outdoor environments. It uses 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors with PO - Polyolefin insulation and a PVC jacket in black. The cable has a 0.250 in (6.35 mm) nominal overall diameter and includes sequential marking at two foot intervals for easier identification during deployment. Electrical performance includes a 300 V voltage rating and high-frequency performance specified from 1 MHz – 350 MHz.
Belden 1304A B59 Key Features
- This Category 5e data cable uses U/UTP construction for balanced twisted-pair performance.
- It features 4 bonded-pair construction to support consistent handling during deployment.
- It uses 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors (7x32) for flexible installations.
- PO - Polyolefin insulation includes standard pair color coding: White/Blue Stripe & Blue, White/Orange Stripe & Orange, White/Green Stripe & Green, White/Brown Stripe & Brown.
- A PVC jacket in black provides a 0.250 in (6.35 mm) nominal overall diameter.
- Sequential marking at two foot intervals helps track length and placement.
- It has a 300 V voltage rating.
- High-frequency performance is specified from 1 MHz – 350 MHz.
Belden 1304A B59 Applications
- Use it for Category 5e patch connections where a Category 5e link is needed in a tactical or portable setup.
- Support CobraNet systems for networked audio transport over Ethernet infrastructure.
- Deploy it in eSnake setups where digital audio signals are carried over Ethernet-based cabling.
- Install it in Ethersound systems that rely on Ethernet cabling for digital audio distribution.
- Choose it for Digital Audio Over Ethernet setups for routing and distributing audio signals across a network.
- Use it for PoE applications where power and data are delivered over the same Ethernet cable run.
- Use it for PoE+ applications that require PoE+ support over Ethernet cabling.
