Belden Inc. 1213F 010Z1000 Cat5e F/utp Cmp Plenum Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1213F 010Z1000 is a Category 5e Plus, 4-pair, foil-shielded unshielded twisted pair (F/UTP) network cable rated for plenum (CMP) installation environments. The foil shield provides improved noise rejection compared to standard unshielded Cat5e, making it a solid choice for runs in electrically noisy commercial environments. Rated for plenum airspace use, this cable carries a CMP jacket rating, meaning it meets the low-smoke, flame-spread requirements required by code for installation in air-handling spaces. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is suited for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial buildings where horizontal runs must pass through plenum ceilings or air-handling plenums. The 1000-foot reel format supports full-floor or multi-drop horizontal cable runs consistent with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Typical applications include data networking, VoIP infrastructure, and IP-based building automation systems that require Cat5e-rated performance with added shielding and plenum compliance.

Key Features

• CMP plenum jacket rating meets low-smoke and flame-spread code requirements for air-handling spaces
• F/UTP foil shield improves rejection of electromagnetic interference compared to standard unshielded Cat5e
• Cat5e Plus performance supports Ethernet, VoIP, and IP-based control applications
• 4-pair construction follows TIA-568 horizontal cabling standards
• 1000-foot reel format minimizes splices on long horizontal runs
• Black jacket for easy identification in multi-cable pathways

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated F/UTP structured cabling solution compatible with standard Cat5e keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 termination hardware in TIA-568-compliant cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage cabling contractor or electrician familiar with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and local building codes governing plenum-rated wiring. De-energize any adjacent electrical circuits and confirm plenum airspace classification before routing cable. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid stapling or crimping the cable jacket, as damage to the foil shield will degrade signal integrity. Terminate both ends with Cat5e-rated hardware to maintain rated channel performance.
