GENSPEED 5136100 Cat 5e Cable

This GENSPEED 5136100 cable is a Category 5e data cable supplied on a 100 ft spool. It uses solid 24 AWG conductors arranged in four unshielded pairs with a black polyethylene jacket. The cable carries a CMR riser fire rating and meets ANSI/TIA 568-C.2 and ISO 11801 standards for structured wiring installations.

Installers running horizontal or backbone links

The solid conductor design suits fixed infrastructure such as wall runs, patch panels and conduit pulls where cables are not flexed after installation. It is not suited for patch cords, moveable equipment connections or any application that requires stranded conductors for repeated bending. The 1 in bend radius and riser rating limit use to vertical shafts and general indoor pathways rather than plenum spaces.

Spool packaging simplifies long pulls

The 100 ft spool format allows installers to pull exact lengths from a single reel, reducing waste and eliminating the need to join multiple shorter cables. The polyethylene jacket and solid conductors maintain the 100 MHz bandwidth specification across the full run when terminated to Category 5e connecting hardware. No connectors, termination tools or test equipment are included with the cable itself.

Questions about this item

What connector type is needed to terminate the 24 AWG solid conductors on this 5136100 cable?

The cable uses solid 24 AWG conductors in four unshielded pairs; termination requires connectors rated for solid wire of that gauge.

Can this 100 ft Cat 5e spool be joined to an existing Cat 5 run without degrading the 100 MHz bandwidth?

Yes, the cable meets ANSI/TIA 568-C.2 and ISO 11801 for Cat 5e performance, so a proper splice or coupler will maintain the 100 MHz rating.

After installation, how can I verify the 5136100 cable is performing to its 100 MHz Cat 5e spec?

Run a qualified cable certifier test to the ANSI/TIA 568-C.2 Cat 5e limits; a pass confirms the 100 MHz bandwidth and correct pair wiring.
