Ortronics PW5ER100DB-06 Solid Cord Riser 100ft Blue

Product Description

The ORTRONICS PW5ER100DB-06 is a solid conductor riser-rated cord designed for in-wall and between-floor cable runs in commercial and residential structured wiring installations. Riser ratings meet vertical flame-spread requirements, making this cable suitable for use in building risers and vertical shaft runs where plenum-rated cable is not required. At 100 feet, the spool provides enough length for most single-run vertical installations without splicing. The blue jacket aids in color-coded cable management and circuit identification in patch panels and wiring closets. This type of cable is typically pulled and terminated by low-voltage technicians or licensed data/telecom cabling installers.

This solid conductor riser cord is intended for permanent, fixed structured cabling installations in office buildings, multi-unit residential buildings, and light commercial facilities. Solid conductor construction makes it appropriate for punch-down terminations at keystone jacks, patch panels, and 110-style blocks. The 100-foot length suits floor-to-floor or equipment-room-to-work-area runs. The blue jacket color supports standard TIA-606 color-coding practices for network infrastructure identification.

Key Features

• Riser-rated (CMR) jacket suitable for vertical in-wall and shaft cable runs
• Solid conductor construction for punch-down terminations at jacks and patch panels
• 100-foot continuous length minimizes splicing in single-run installations
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable plant organization per TIA-606 practices
• Sold as a single unit for straightforward inventory and project management

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid conductor riser cable for use with standard 110-punch-down keystone jacks, patch panels, and structured wiring hardware in low-voltage data and telecom installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications riser cables. De-energize any adjacent electrical circuits before pulling cable through walls or vertical shafts. Use a 110 punch-down tool for terminations at keystone jacks and patch panels — do not use stranded-cable termination methods on solid conductor wire. Secure cables at appropriate intervals per local building and fire codes to maintain the integrity of the riser pathway.
