Description

StarTech WIRC5ECMRGRY 1000ft Cat5e CMR Gray Network Cable

Overview

The StarTech WIRC5ECMRGRY is a 1000-foot spool of gray, 4-pair UTP Cat5e cable designed for reliable data transmission up to 1000 Mbps. Its solid copper conductors and 24 AWG gauge ensure signal integrity for network infrastructure, including IP surveillance systems, VoIP phones, and data networks. The CMR (Riser) fire rating makes it suitable for installations within walls and between floors in commercial buildings, provided local codes permit.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring Ethernet connectivity, including 10/100/1000Base-T networks. It supports devices such as IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, routers, and workstations. It is suitable for use with PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices, provided the power budget of the switch or injector is sufficient and the cable run does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet) for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The cable features 24 AWG solid copper conductors, which offer superior performance over stranded wire for longer runs but are less flexible. It is CMR rated for vertical (riser) installations. Ensure termination is performed using appropriate Cat5e keystone jacks or patch panels. For optimal performance and to meet the 1000 Mbps specification, do not exceed a total cable length of 100 meters (328 feet) between network devices.
