Gray Cat5e bulk Ethernet cable on pull-box spool

Alphacool

Alphacool 2 in 1 accessory

SKU CH-D90H-1XERN

A 1000-foot Cat5e riser cable with solid bare copper conductors supports 2.5 Gigabit speeds and PoE++ up to 100W

  • Supports 2.5 GbE speeds up to 328 feet
  • Bandwidth tested to 350 MHz for reliable throughput
  • Delivers PoE++ up to 100 W over four pairs
  • Pure 24 AWG bare copper ensures strong signal
  • Riser-rated jacket limits vertical flame spread

What this cable delivers

This Cat5e riser cable uses 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs. It supports 1 and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet up to 328 feet with bandwidth tested to 350 MHz. The jacket is CMR rated for vertical runs between floors and in walls. It also carries PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ up to 100 W under IEEE 802.3af/at/bt.

Who should buy it and who should not

Installers wiring offices, schools or homes for 2.5GBASE-T and high-power PoE devices will benefit from the pure copper conductors and easy-pull box. Buyers who need outdoor, direct-burial or plenum-rated jackets should look elsewhere. The cable is unshielded, so environments with heavy EMI require a different construction.

What the box and certifications change

The 1000 foot length arrives pre-spooled in a tangle-free pull box that speeds large pulls. Each reel is tested on a DSX-8000 Versiv CableAnalyzer and meets ANSI/TIA 568.2-D, RoHS-3 and cETLus requirements. The supplier backs the cable with a forever warranty.

Questions about this item

What network equipment must I already have to use the 2.5GBASE-T capability of this Cat5e cable?

You need a switch, router or network card with 2.5GBASE-T ports at both ends of the run to achieve 2.5 Gb/s speeds.

Will this riser-rated Cat5e cable work with my existing 1 Gb/s switches and PoE+ access points?

Yes, it is fully backward compatible with 1 Gb/s links and supports PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ up to 100 W over the same four pairs.

How can I verify the installed cable meets the 350 MHz bandwidth claim?

Test each run with a DSX-8000 Versiv CableAnalyzer or equivalent field certifier; a pass report confirms compliance with ANSI/TIA 568.2-D up to 350 MHz.
