The Knome

In a rummage through endless spares and sods, found what looks like a 40 meter network cable.

However, the label on it is not so easy to find and google is not being my friend.
 

""Network Patch 5e 4pr-etl TIA/2IA-5SBB""

 

No idea where its come from so think it was something some one left with me, the question is what is it for?
Labelling is a world away from any Ethernet cable I have.
Would like to know what its usable for so I can slap a tag on it or use it for alternative projects.

Its not my fault I am grumpy, you try having a porcelain todger that's always hard!

5e could stand for cat 5e, then it is an ethernet cable.

Sounds just like a normal Cat 5e patch cable, internally anyway, the connector may be different. 

 

The TIA/ part is to do with a type of networking standard, but I can't find much on that particular code. 

 

4PR stands for 4 pair I think. And ETL should stand for Extract, Transform, Load.

See the problem I am having  ;) 

Not a networking aficionado (actually complete noob would be a better term), and when comparing to other (much much shorter cables) its not that clear... At least the others say CAT #Number Here.
