Ortronics PW5EP30DB-09 Plenum Patch Cord 30 Feet

Product Description

The ORTRONICS PW5EP30DB-09 is a plenum-rated, solid conductor patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and institutional buildings. Plenum-rated cables are required when routing through air-handling spaces, including dropped ceilings and raised floors used as return-air plenums, because they meet the low-smoke and flame-spread requirements mandated by building codes. This cord measures 30 feet in length and is finished in white, making it suitable for clean, organized cable runs where visibility and code compliance both matter. It is sold individually and is appropriate for network infrastructure work performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians and IT professionals.

This patch cord is intended for use in plenum air-handling spaces within commercial office environments, schools, healthcare facilities, and other buildings where the National Electrical Code requires CMP-rated cabling. It is a solid conductor design, which is best suited for permanent or semi-permanent horizontal runs rather than frequent connect-disconnect patch applications. The white jacket supports cable management conventions in installations where color-coding is used to identify network segments or port groups.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated (CMP) jacket meets low-smoke and flame-spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• Solid conductor construction suited for horizontal or semi-permanent cable runs
• 30-foot length accommodates medium-distance runs between patch panels and equipment
• White jacket supports color-coded cable management practices
• Sold individually, allowing quantities to be matched precisely to job requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated solid conductor patch cord for use in structured cabling systems requiring CMP-rated cable in air-handling plenum spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards and all applicable local building and fire codes. Route cable away from high-voltage conductors and sources of electromagnetic interference. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, and avoid sharp edges or cable ties cinched too tightly, as these can degrade signal performance. Verify that the plenum rating meets the specific air-handling space classification required by the authority having jurisdiction before installation.
