Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT5e cable meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2 standards for enhanced performance in high-speed network environments. The solid copper conductors maintain signal integrity over longer distances compared to stranded alternatives, making this bulk cable ideal for permanent installations behind walls, in ceilings, or through conduits.
The F/UTP construction features an overall foil shield around all four twisted pairs, providing effective EMI/RF protection in electrically noisy environments. This shielding, combined with the cable's design, helps reduce Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) for clearer signal transmission.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This bulk cable solution offers installers complete control over cable lengths, reducing waste and ensuring perfect fits for each network run. The combination of solid conductors and proper shielding provides a stable foundation for network infrastructure that will perform reliably for years.
Custom Installation Ready
Bare wire ends allow termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks to match any installation requirement.
- Compatible with standard CAT5e connectors
- Works with 110-style punch-down tools
- Suitable for patch panels and wall plates
Enhanced Signal Protection
The shielding system protects against both electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference that can degrade network performance.
- Foil shield blocks external noise
- Reduces signal degradation in dense environments
- Maintains data integrity in commercial settings
Deployment / Use Cases
This bulk CAT5e cable is engineered for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise environments. Its CMR rating makes it appropriate for vertical riser applications where cables pass between floors, while the solid conductors ensure reliable performance in permanent installations.
Network installers will appreciate the flexibility of buying by the spool for large projects, allowing them to cut custom lengths for each network drop without the limitations of pre-made patch cables. This approach reduces material costs and minimizes cable management challenges.
Office Network Infrastructure
Ideal for pulling through walls and ceilings to connect workstations to network closets, supporting voice and data applications throughout business facilities.
Educational & Institutional Settings
Suitable for classroom networks, library systems, and administrative offices where reliable connectivity supports daily operations and digital learning tools.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of connectors can I use with this bare wire cable?
This cable has bare wire ends, allowing you to terminate it with standard RJ45 connectors for patch cables, keystone jacks for wall plates, or directly to punch-down blocks in patch panels. The solid conductors work well with 110-style punch-down tools commonly used in structured cabling installations.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use or direct burial?
No, this cable has a CMR-rated PVC jacket designed for indoor riser applications. It is not rated for outdoor exposure, direct burial, or plenum spaces. For outdoor installations, you would need a cable with appropriate weather-resistant and UV-protected jacketing.
What does the F/UTP shielding provide for network performance?
F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) shielding features an overall foil shield around all four twisted pairs. This construction protects against electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference that can cause data errors, particularly in environments with electrical equipment, fluorescent lighting, or other cables running in parallel.
Can this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, as a Category 5e cable with solid conductors and proper shielding, it can support Power over Ethernet applications. The solid conductors provide better current carrying capacity than stranded cables over distance, making it suitable for PoE devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
What is the difference between CMR and CMP ratings for cable jackets?
CMR (Communications Riser) rated cables are suitable for vertical runs between floors in riser shafts, with fire-resistant properties that prevent flame spread vertically. CMP (Communications Plenum) rated cables have higher fire resistance for use in air handling spaces like ceilings used for air return. This cable has CMR rating for riser applications.
How does the solid conductor design benefit network installations?
Solid conductors maintain their shape better when pulled through conduits and provide more stable electrical characteristics over distance compared to stranded conductors. This makes them ideal for permanent installations behind walls or in ceilings where the cable won't be frequently moved or flexed after installation.
