Description

StarTech WIR5ECMRBK 1000ft Cat5e CMR Riser Cable

Overview

The StarTech WIR5ECMRBK is a 1000-foot spool of black, 24 AWG, solid copper Cat5e UTP cable designed for reliable 10/100/1000Mbps network deployments. Its CMR (Riser) fire rating makes it suitable for installations running vertically between building floors, providing a robust backbone for surveillance systems, data networks, and VoIP infrastructure where consistent performance and safety compliance are critical. This cable supports frequencies up to 350 MHz, ensuring it meets or exceeds Cat5e standards for Gigabit Ethernet.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that uses RJ45 connectors, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. It is designed to support 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet standards, making it suitable for a wide range of IP surveillance systems and general IT networking requirements. Ensure your network devices and patch panels are rated for Cat5e or higher for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The cable features solid copper conductors, which offer superior performance over stranded copper for longer runs but are less flexible. It is CMR rated for in-wall and riser installations, requiring adherence to local building codes for fire safety. The 1000-foot length is provided on a spool for ease of deployment in structured cabling projects.
