CAT5e Ethernet Cable - 1000ft Bulk, UTP, 24AWG Bare Copper, CM Rated

This is stranded cable for making your own patch cords. Stranded conductors flex where solid ones fatigue, so when you need a Gigabit jumper in a length nobody sells, a run to a cart or a machine that moves, or a box of cable that terminates cleanly in crimp plugs, this is the one to keep on the shelf.

It's Category 5e, rated for Gigabit Ethernet, with 24 AWG bare copper conductors, HDPE insulation, a rip cord, and a CM-rated PVC jacket. It comes in a 1000 ft pull box with footage markings on the jacket.

Features

• 24 AWG stranded bare copper. It contains no copper-clad aluminum, and the stranding is what makes it flex without breaking.
• Gigabit rated. It runs 10/100/1000 Mbps links, and 2.5GBase-T on equipment that supports it.
• Unshielded (UTP). No shield means no grounding to worry about and the easiest cable to terminate.
• CM-rated PVC jacket, ETL Verified. Approved for general in-wall and raceway use, and RoHS compliant.
• HDPE insulation. Tight, consistent pair twists with color-striped pair identification for crosstalk control and easy termination.
• Rip cord. Strip the jacket without nicking the conductors.
• Sequential footage markings. You can see what's left in the box and cut runs to length without a tape.
• 1000 ft pull box. The cable pays out from the center without twisting or tangling.
• Six jacket colors. Standard TIA-568 pair colors inside.

Where It Fits

It suits custom patch cords for racks, desks, and equipment cabinets, cabling to carts, kiosks, and machines that move, AV and event setups that get rolled up and reused, and short flexible runs anywhere a factory patch cord is the wrong length.

Good to Know

Stranded cable is for patch cords and short flexible runs, not permanent in-wall links. TIA specifies solid conductors for horizontal cabling, and punch-down jacks and patch panels are designed to bite solid wire; stranded wire in a punch-down is a loose connection waiting to happen. Terminate this cable with RJ45 plugs rated for stranded conductors. For permanent runs, use the solid version of this cable. For patch cords near motors, drives, or power equipment, use the shielded stranded version.
