Description

Fiber Cables Direct FCD-C5E-SOL-BK-1000FT Bulk Ethernet Cable

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCD-C5E-SOL-BK-1000FT is a 1000-foot bulk spool of solid copper Cat5e Ethernet cable. Designed for structured cabling installations, this cable ensures reliable data transmission for network devices, including IP cameras, NVRs, and network switches. Its solid conductor construction provides superior performance for in-wall and horizontal runs, minimizing signal loss and interference over longer distances compared to stranded alternatives. This cable is tested to 350 MHz, exceeding the TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standard for Category 5e performance, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) networks.

Compatibility

This Cat5e bulk cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network equipment supporting Ethernet standards up to 1000BASE-T. It is suitable for use with IP cameras from brands such as Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua, as well as network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear. Use this cable for horizontal runs within walls, ceilings, or conduits in commercial and residential installations. It is not recommended for patch cord applications due to its solid conductor construction, which is less flexible.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and signal integrity, ensure proper termination using compatible RJ45 connectors and a punch-down tool. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable run, as this can degrade performance. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter. For runs exceeding 100 meters (328 feet), signal degradation may occur. This cable is RoHS compliant, indicating it meets environmental standards for hazardous substances.
