Cat5e Bulk Ethernet Cable, Unshielded, Solid, CMP, Pull Box, 1000 ft, 350 Mhz, White

Cat5e | Solid Cable Plenum UL/ETL/CSA | 1000 ft. | White | Bulk Ethernet Cable | Lifetime Warranty

Plenum-rated Cat5e cable offers the same data transmission capabilities as standard Cat5e, but features a specialized jacket that complies with ANSI standards for flame resistance and low smoke emission. In the event of a fire, it is less likely to ignite than standard PVC-jacketed cables and produces significantly less smoke if it does. This type of cable is commonly used in public buildings and HIPAA-compliant office environments where safety and air quality are critical.

Features:

• 24AWG Pure Copper 4 Pair (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet Cable.
• 350MHz rated.
• CMP rated.
• Pull Box.
• UL and ETL listed.
• CSA (Canada) listed

Pros of Solid CMP Cable:

• Flame-retardant and low-smoke producing, enhancing fire safety in commercial building.
• Ideal for long, fixed installations; provides better signal strength and lower attenuation than stranded cable.
• Features a more compact diameter with the same current-carrying capability as stranded wire.
• Supports consistent performance over distances up to 100 meters.

Cons of Solid CMP Cable:

• Solid copper conductors are stiff and harder to maneuver, making them unsuitable for patch cables or areas requiring frequent movement or tight bends.
• Overkill for Non-Plenum Areas.
• Not Shielded- While unshielded twisted pair reduces crosstalk, it's still more susceptible to electromagnetic interference in environments with heavy machinery or high EMI compared to shielded cables



Applications:

• Structured Cabling for LANs
• Permanent In-Wall Installations
