dc-cat5e-p-blue Cat 5e Plenum Cable 1000 Ft Blue Cmp 24 Awg

Product Description

The GENERIC / UNBRANDED dc-cat5e-p-blue is a 1000-foot pull-box reel of Category 5e plenum-rated network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and institutional buildings. Built with 24 AWG bare copper conductors arranged in four twisted pairs, it carries a CMP-rated jacket that meets National Electrical Code requirements for use in air-handling plenum spaces. The cable supports data, voice, and Power over Ethernet applications at standard Cat 5e performance levels. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers. The blue jacket simplifies color-coded cable management across large installations.

This cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other structures where cabling must pass through or along air-return plenum spaces above drop ceilings or below raised floors. The full 1000-foot pull-box format reduces mid-run reel changes, streamlining installation in long corridor runs, open ceilings, and conduit pathways. It supports standard structured cabling infrastructure including patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches terminating to RJ45 connectors.

Key Features

• CMP plenum-rated jacket meets NEC Article 800 requirements for air-handling spaces
• 24 AWG bare copper conductors across four twisted pairs for reliable signal integrity
• Cat 5e performance supports data, voice, and PoE applications
• Blue jacket provides consistent color identification for organized cable management
• 1000-foot pull-box format reduces reel changes during large-scale deployments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 5e structured cabling solution compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and network equipment terminations that accept 24 AWG four-pair horizontal cable in plenum-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or registered low-voltage cabling contractor in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. Power down all active network equipment at the termination points before making connections. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius and do not staple or over-cinch cable ties, as either can degrade pair geometry and reduce signal performance. Plenum-rated cable must be used in plenum spaces — do not substitute riser or non-rated cable where CMP is required by the authority having jurisdiction.
