cat5e-rd Cat5e Cable 4 Pair 1000 Ft Pvc Red Pull Box

Product Description

The GENERIC / UNBRANDED cat5e-rd is a 1000-foot pull-box spool of Category 5e (Cat5e) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with a red PVC jacket. Cat5e cable supports network data transmission up to 1 Gbps at 100 MHz and is the standard choice for structured cabling in commercial and residential installations. The four-pair, 8-conductor construction meets EIA/TIA-568 standards for horizontal runs. The pull box format allows clean, tangle-free cable pulls through conduit, above ceilings, and inside walls without requiring a separate reel stand.

This cable is suited for low-voltage structured wiring installations including Ethernet networks, VoIP systems, and building automation wiring. The red jacket aids circuit identification in multi-cable pathways and is commonly specified for fire alarm or emergency communication wiring where color coding is required by the job spec. Licensed low-voltage contractors, electricians, and network cabling technicians are the typical installers for this product in both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• 1000-foot pull box eliminates need for a separate reel or dispenser during installation
• Red PVC jacket supports color-coded circuit identification in structured cabling systems
• Four-pair (8-conductor) Cat5e construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and 100 MHz bandwidth
• PVC jacket rated for standard indoor use in conduit or open plenum-exempt runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e UTP cable compatible with RJ-45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs that terminate 4-pair 24 AWG or 23 AWG Cat5e conductors per EIA/TIA-568 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 for communications wiring. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius or pull tension specified for Cat5e cable, as doing so can degrade signal performance. Avoid routing cable parallel to high-voltage conductors without adequate separation. Verify jacket rating matches the installation environment before pulling into plenum spaces, as standard PVC jacket is not rated for plenum use without a separate conduit sleeve or jacket upgrade.
