International Connectors and Cable ICCABP5EYL Cat 5E UTP Solid Cable

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICCABP5EYL is a 1,000-foot spool of yellow, Category 5e (Cat 5e) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) solid copper cable. Designed for structured cabling systems, this 24 AWG, 4-pair cable supports data transmission up to 350 MHz, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and other high-speed network applications. Its CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating allows for installation in air-handling spaces, crucial for clean and compliant network deployments in commercial buildings.

Compatibility

This Cat 5e cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment that supports Category 5e or higher standards, including 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards. It is suitable for use with various surveillance systems requiring reliable network connectivity, such as IP camera networks, NVRs, and access control systems. Ensure termination is performed using compatible Cat 5e RJ45 connectors and patch panels for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

The cable features solid conductors for superior performance over longer distances compared to stranded wire. It is rated for use in plenum spaces (CMP), meaning it meets stringent fire safety and low-smoke emission standards required for installation within air-handling plenums. For optimal signal integrity and to meet Cat 5e specifications, maintain a twist rate on each pair throughout the termination process and avoid exceeding the maximum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter.
