Monoprice 113740 Cat5e Plenum Ethernet Cable 304.8 m Yellow 24AWG 350 MHz

304.8 m Cat5e plenum bulk cable

This 1000 foot roll of Cat5e bulk cable uses 24AWG solid pure bare copper conductors and carries a CMP plenum fire safety rating. The yellow jacket is unshielded twisted pair construction rated for 350MHz bandwidth. It meets UL Code 444 and TIA568C.2 standards and is TAA compliant for government or commercial projects. Installers cut and terminate exact lengths on site for structured wiring jobs.

Check jacket rating and conductor gauge

Verify that your building code requires a CMP plenum rating for the air-handling spaces where this cable will run. Confirm that 24AWG solid conductors are acceptable for the termination hardware and patch panels you plan to use. Ensure the 350MHz bandwidth specification satisfies the performance margin your network design calls for. The UTP construction means no separate shield drain wire is present.

Replaces lower-rated or non-plenum bulk cable

This roll replaces Cat5e cable that lacks a plenum rating when installation passes through plenum spaces. It upgrades from stranded or copper-clad aluminium conductors to solid pure bare copper for better signal integrity. The jump is worth it when fire code demands CMP compliance and when a single 304.8 m pull eliminates multiple shorter spools. Not for runs requiring shielded cable or Category 6 and above performance.
