APC 75ft Cat5e UTP networking cable Grey 22.86 m U/UTP (UTP)

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £27.28 ex-VAT for a 22.86m run, this APC Cat5e U/UTP cable is the sort of “get it done” buy you’d make for basic office wiring, patch runs, or any job where you’re not pushing serious network speeds. Cat5e is generally fine for standard Ethernet workloads (typical corporate browsing, VoIP, printers, cameras depending on design), and a solid brand name like APC is reassuring for consistency. The grey colour also won’t fight you in tidy patching and cable management.

That said, I’d only buy this if your design is genuinely aiming for Cat5e-class performance. If you’re doing a new install, modernising a comms room, or want to avoid rework later, you’re often better off paying a bit more for Cat6/6A so you’ve got more headroom. Also, because it’s UTP (no shielding), it’s not the first choice for particularly noisy environments (lots of electrical interference, heavy cabling runs near power, etc.). If you’re wiring a typical office and you just need a dependable length, it’s good value; if you’re planning for “set and forget” longevity or messy interference zones, I’d look elsewhere.
