STARTECH WIR5ECMPHBL network ethernet cable Cat5e 500 ft blue plenum 24 AWG 350 MHz

500 ft plenum Cat5e bulk cable

This 500 ft roll of blue plenum-rated Cat5e cable is built for horizontal Ethernet runs in air-handling spaces. It uses solid 24 AWG copper conductors and is UL listed CMP/FT6 for fire safety. The jacket is foot-marked to simplify measurement during installation. It supports frequencies up to 350 MHz for reliable Fast Ethernet performance.

Installers needing CMP fire rating

The plenum rating makes this cable suitable for ducts and plenums where local codes require low-smoke, flame-retardant materials. It is not intended for patch-cord use or outdoor burial, and it does not carry a riser or outdoor rating. Buyers who need stranded conductors for flexible patch leads should choose a different cable type.

Foot-marked jacket aids pulls

Sequential foot markings on the jacket let installers track remaining length without a separate measuring tool. Solid 24 AWG construction keeps near-end crosstalk within Cat5e limits for stable signal quality. The bulk reel format supports long continuous runs with fewer splices.
