STARTECH WIR5ECMRWH network ethernet cable Cat5e 1000 ft white 24 AWG 350 MHz

Bulk Cat5e Riser Cable 1000 ft

This 1000 ft roll of Cat5e cable is built for installers who need CMR-rated wiring for vertical runs in walls, conduit or ceilings. The solid 24 AWG copper conductors and PVC jacket meet the UL-listed riser fire rating required by building codes. Foot markings on the jacket simplify measuring and cutting during installation. It suits home, office or education network projects that specify riser-grade cable.

Cat5e 350 MHz bandwidth limit

The cable is rated to 350 MHz, which defines the practical frequency ceiling for Cat5e performance. This bandwidth supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds over the full 1000 ft length when terminated correctly. Because the construction is unshielded UTP, the cable is more susceptible to electromagnetic interference than shielded alternatives in electrically noisy environments. Installers should follow standard separation guidelines from power lines to maintain signal quality.

Verify riser rating and solid wire needs

Before ordering, confirm that your project specification calls for CMR riser-rated cable rather than plenum or general-purpose CM types. Solid conductors are intended for permanent horizontal or vertical runs and are not suited for patch cords or frequent flexing. Ensure your termination tools and connectors are compatible with 24 AWG solid wire. The white PVC jacket colour should match any site colour-coding requirements.
