Description

Fiber Cables Direct FCD-C5E-SOL-RD-1000FT Bulk Cat5e Cable

Overview

This 1000ft spool of solid copper Cat5e cable provides a reliable foundation for your structured cabling needs. The red jacket is useful for distinguishing network runs from other cable types in a crowded rack or wall cavity. Designed for horizontal runs within walls and conduits, this cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) and is tested to 350 MHz, exceeding the TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standard for Cat5e performance. Its solid conductor construction offers superior performance and longer reach compared to stranded cable, making it suitable for fixed installations in commercial and enterprise environments.

Compatibility

The FCD-C5E-SOL-RD-1000FT is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and patch panels designed for Cat5e or higher (Cat6, Cat6a) cabling. It is suitable for use with any network device requiring a wired Ethernet connection, including IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, access control panels, and workstations. Ensure termination is performed using appropriate tools and connectors for Cat5e solid cable to maintain signal integrity.

Installation Notes

This cable is intended for permanent installations within walls, ceilings, or conduits. Do not use for patch cord applications where repeated flexing will occur. For termination, use 24 AWG solid conductor RJ45 plugs or IDC punch-down connectors. Maintain a bend radius of at least four times the cable diameter during installation. Avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
