Belden Inc. 1700A 009U1000 Cat5e Cmr Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1700A 009U1000 is a Category 5e, 4-pair unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable rated for CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) applications. It ships as a 1000-foot pull box in white jacket. This cable is engineered to support structured wiring installations where the cable must pass through building risers and vertical runs between floors. Electricians and low-voltage technicians rely on it for data, voice, and general-purpose network cabling in commercial and residential construction. The CMR rating confirms it meets fire-resistance standards for riser use without the added cost of plenum-rated materials.

This cable is suited for horizontal and vertical structured cabling runs in office buildings, schools, multifamily residential properties, and light commercial facilities. It is commonly used to wire workstation drops, IP phone connections, access control, and other low-voltage network applications where a reliable Cat5e backbone is required. The 1000-foot box format allows clean pulls from a single continuous run, reducing mid-run splices.

Key Features

• Category 5e performance supporting 100 MHz bandwidth for standard Ethernet and VoIP applications
• 4-pair unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) construction for straightforward termination with standard keystone jacks and patch panels
• CMR (Riser) jacket rating meets fire-resistance requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• White PVC jacket for clean visibility in structured cabling environments
• 1000-foot box format enables long continuous pulls with no mid-run joins

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Cat5e UTP cable compatible with standard 8P8C (RJ45) termination hardware, Cat5e keystone jacks, patch panels, and 110-style punch-down blocks used in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with local building codes and ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize any adjacent circuits before pulling cable through conduit or raceways. Maintain minimum bend-radius requirements during pulls to avoid degrading cable performance. Do not exceed manufacturer-specified pulling tension, and avoid pinching or kinking the cable at corners or tie points.
