Monoprice 100878 1000FT Cat5e UTP Riser Cable - Black

The Monoprice 100878 is a 1000-foot bulk spool of Cat5e UTP Ethernet cable featuring solid 24AWG bare copper conductors and a black outer jacket. Designed for custom network installations, this cable allows installers to cut and terminate precise run lengths using standard RJ45 connectors. The solid copper construction provides lower attenuation over long runs compared to stranded cable, making it the preferred choice for permanent infrastructure wiring through walls, ceilings, and riser shafts. The pure copper conductors also ensure safe and reliable Power over Ethernet delivery.

With a 350MHz bandwidth rating, this Cat5e cable fully supports Gigabit Ethernet connections at distances up to 100 meters. The CMR riser rating certifies the cable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings, meeting fire safety code requirements. The black jacket color distinguishes this spool from the more common gray and blue options, making it a practical choice for installations where cables are partially visible or where color coding is used to separate network segments, such as distinguishing data runs from voice or security camera lines.
