Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e cable operates with a 350 MHz frequency range, supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps network speeds with enhanced throughput capacity. The 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors ensure minimal signal loss and maintain consistent performance over the full 1000-foot length. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction with minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) maintains signal integrity even in dense cable runs.
The cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, allowing both data and power transmission over a single cable for devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The wear-resistant PVC jacket provides durability during installation and long-term use in riser environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This StarTech.com Cat5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (1000 Mbps), making it suitable for gigabit Ethernet networks. It operates with a 350 MHz frequency range that enhances throughput capacity for demanding network applications while maintaining backward compatibility with 10/100 Mbps networks.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this Cat5e cable fully supports Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG solid copper conductors efficiently carry both data and electrical power to compatible devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other PoE-enabled network equipment without requiring separate power cables.
What does CMR rating mean for this Ethernet cable?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Riser, indicating this cable meets specific fire safety standards for vertical installations between floors in buildings. The CMR-rated PVC jacket resists flame propagation in riser applications, making it suitable for in-wall runs, elevator shafts, and other vertical spaces where building codes require riser-rated cabling.
Are the ends of this bulk cable pre-terminated with connectors?
No, this bulk cable comes with bare wire ends on both sides, allowing for custom termination based on your specific installation needs. You can add RJ45 connectors for patch cables, use keystone jacks for wall plates, or terminate directly to punch-down blocks in patch panels, providing maximum flexibility for different installation scenarios.
What are the environmental compliance certifications for this cable?
This cable is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it meets strict environmental standards for hazardous material content. It is also TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, ensuring it qualifies for government and institutional purchasing programs that require TAA compliance for networking products.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or direct burial installations?
No, this cable is designed for indoor riser applications with its CMR-rated jacket. It is not rated for outdoor use, direct burial, or plenum spaces. For outdoor installations, you would need specifically rated outdoor or direct burial Ethernet cable with appropriate UV protection and moisture resistance.
