Network cables are used to connect active devices to a network cabling system. These flexible 
connections are essential to the performance of a data network. The Valueline network 
cable range was composed with great care and features solide CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a 
and CAT7 network cables, all available in UTP, FTP and SFTP. Besides different lenghts, the 

network cables are also available in different colours. On top of that, all network cables in 
this concept are equipped with snagless moulded plugs that create a seamless and solide 
connection between plug and cable. 

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) does not have any 
electromagnetic shielding. It is the most important 
type of cable for telecom and is often used for 
computer networks.

Foiled Twisted Pair (FTP). The FTP cable is actually a 
UTP cable that is surrounded by a foil, which increases 
the protection against electromagnetic interference.

Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair (SFTP), this is where the 
UTP cable is surrounded by a foil (‘Foiled’) and an 
extra metal braiding (‘Shielded’), which increases the 
protection against electromagnetic interference even 
more.

The Valueline network cables are executed with 
‘snagless, moulded strain relief’ plugs, which provide 
added strength and ensure a durable and solid 
connection between the cable and plug. The ‘fins’ on 
both sides prevent the lip from breaking.

A flat cable is a cable with multiple conducting wires 
running parallel to each other, resulting in a flat and 
flexible cable. As the wires of flat cables are not 
bundled, like the wires of rounded cable, these cables 
experience little to none signal interference.

Pair in Metal Foil, this is where the 4 twisted pairs are 
separately surrounded by foil, besides that the twisted 
pairs are also surrounded by foil shielding. This creates 
a very effective protection against electromagnetic 
interference. 

Stranded cables are composed of wires with a bundle 
of conductors that together form one larger conductor. 
Stranded cables are more flexible than solid cables. 
When higher resistance to metal fatigue is required, 
stranded cables are used.

Solid cables consist of wires with one solid conductor. 
Due to the mechanical ruggedness of solid cables 
they are used when cables don’t or hardly have to 
be flexible. Solid cables are well protected against 
corrosion as they have relatively little surface area that 
is exposed to this.
