Grey 250 ft Cat5e UTP CCA 24 AWG bulk ethernet cable in pull box

VIVO

VIVO 250 ft Cat5e UTP CCA 24 AWG network ethernet cable

SKU CH-1GFE-HVV2P

Grey Cat5e bulk cable supplies 250 ft of solid 24 AWG CCA conductors in a pull-box for custom indoor runs

  • ColorGrey
  • 250 ft pull box simplifies long indoor runs
  • Solid CCA 24 AWG conductors keep material cost low
  • Four unshielded twisted pairs support standard Cat5e wiring
  • Connector-free roll lets you cut exact lengths for patch or crossover cables
  • Grey jacket identifies cable quickly in crowded racks

Cable type and use-case

This VIVO cable is a Cat5e unshielded twisted-pair roll supplied without connectors, so installers can cut exact lengths and terminate them on site. The 250 ft bulk format suits electricians, IT contractors and DIY networkers who are wiring indoor patch or crossover runs. It is not rated for outdoor or plenum spaces.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper-clad-aluminium conductor the cable generates no heat, emits no noise and draws no power during normal data transmission. The solid 24 AWG CCA construction keeps the jacket cool even on long continuous runs, and the pull-box packaging prevents kinks that could increase resistance. No active cooling or power budget is required.

Critical specification

The conductor is copper-clad aluminium rather than solid copper, so the cable carries no UL, NEC, ETL or TIA certification and must not be used for Power over Ethernet. Buyers who need PoE support or code-compliant structured wiring should select a solid-copper alternative.

Questions about this item

How do I pull and terminate this 250 ft Cat5e cable from the spool box without damaging the conductors?

Pull steadily from the centre of the spool box, keep bends gentle, strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the four twisted pairs, untwist each pair only as far as the connector requires, then punch down or crimp the solid 24 AWG CCA conductors.

What long-term issues can appear with the copper-clad aluminium conductors in this cable?

The aluminium core can fatigue and fracture if the cable is flexed repeatedly, and the copper-to-aluminium bond may oxidise at punch-down blocks over time, so plan to replace any runs that suffer movement or show intermittent faults.

Why does the warning say this 250 ft CCA cable is not for Power over Ethernet?

Copper-clad aluminium has higher DC resistance than solid copper, so it drops more voltage and generates more heat when carrying PoE current, making it unsuitable for powered devices.
