Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 1000-foot spool allows you to cut precise custom lengths and reduce cable waste
- Solid bare copper conductors ensure reliable signal quality over long runs
- CMR riser rating makes it suitable for in-wall and between-floor installations
- 24AWG UTP construction keeps the cable flexible enough to route through tight spaces
- 350MHz bandwidth supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds across the full rated distance
👎 Cons
- Solid core construction is not ideal for short patch cables that need frequent flexing
- Does not include connectors, boots, or termination tools — all must be purchased separately
- CMR rating does not cover plenum airspace installations, which require a CMP-rated cable
- Cat5e specification may be limiting for future-proofing compared to Cat6 or Cat6a
- Available only in black, which may not blend with all installation environments
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable solid core or stranded?
This is a solid core cable, which provides better performance over longer cable runs compared to stranded cable. It is best suited for permanent in-wall or in-ceiling installations rather than patch cables.
Does this cable come with RJ45 connectors?
No, this is bare bulk cable sold on a 1000-foot spool. You will need to purchase RJ45 connectors, boots, and a crimping tool separately to terminate the cable to your desired lengths.
Is this cable rated for in-wall installation?
Yes, this cable carries a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) rating, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors and general in-wall installations. It is not rated for plenum spaces, which require CMP-rated cable.
What is the conductor material — solid copper or copper-clad aluminum?
This cable uses bare solid copper conductors, which provide superior conductivity and reliability compared to copper-clad aluminum alternatives.
What is the maximum supported cable run length?
As a Cat5e cable, it supports runs up to 100 meters (328 feet) per segment at full 350MHz performance, following standard Ethernet specifications.
