Description

StarTech WIR5ECMPBL 1000ft Cat5e CMP Cable

Overview

The StarTech WIR5ECMPBL is a 1000-foot spool of blue, plenum-rated Cat5e Ethernet cable. It's designed for high-speed network data transmission up to 1000 Mbps, making it suitable for demanding surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks where clean cable runs are essential. The CMP rating allows for installation in air-handling spaces, meeting building codes for plenum environments.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring Cat5e or lower (Cat5, Cat3) specifications, including 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet switches, routers, network interface cards (NICs), and IP cameras. It supports ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, ensuring interoperability with devices from all major network hardware manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Featuring solid copper conductors, this cable offers superior performance over stranded copper for longer runs and fixed installations. The 24 AWG wire gauge provides a balance of conductivity and flexibility. The cable jacket is made of PVC, and the CMP rating indicates it meets stringent fire safety standards for use in plenum spaces. Ensure proper termination with compatible RJ45 connectors and tools.
