Belden Inc. 7958A 0081000 Cat5e Ethernet Cable 24 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 7958A 0081000 is a Cat5e Ethernet cable constructed with 24 AWG conductors, designed for structured wiring applications in commercial and residential installations. Cat5e cabling supports data transmission up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet and is engineered to meet Category 5e performance standards, including crosstalk and signal attenuation requirements. This cable is suited for runs between network equipment, patch panels, switches, and end devices. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and communications contractors are the typical trades handling installation of this type of cable.

This cable is appropriate for use in building automation, security, and data network infrastructure projects. It performs in both horizontal runs and structured cabling environments typical of commercial office buildouts, light industrial facilities, and residential network drops. The 24 AWG conductor gauge is a standard specification for Cat5e patch and in-wall wiring applications.

Key Features

• Cat5e rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• 24 AWG conductor gauge for standard structured cabling installations
• Suitable for horizontal runs and in-wall network wiring
• Meets Category 5e performance requirements for crosstalk and attenuation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e Ethernet cable compatible with RJ45 terminations and typical structured cabling components including patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for communications wiring. Avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity. Do not run parallel to high-voltage conductors without appropriate separation as outlined in NEC Article 800. Power down connected network equipment before terminating or punching down conductors.
