Pro-source TUR2404PRED Cat5e Ethernet Cable 24 Awg 1000 Ft

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE TUR2404PRED is an unshielded Cat5e Ethernet cable rated for structured wiring and data network installations. Built on a 24 AWG, 4-pair conductor configuration with polyolefin insulation, it meets the electrical performance requirements of Cat5e cabling standards, supporting Ethernet applications up to 1 Gbps at standard network distances. The red jacket aids in cable identification during installation and post-installation management. Each spool provides 1,000 feet of continuous run, making it well suited for in-wall pulls, above-ceiling routes, and patch room home-runs. At 20 pounds per spool, it is sized for professional installation jobs requiring bulk cable stock.

This cable is used in commercial and residential low-voltage data infrastructure projects. Typical installations include office networks, warehouses, school buildings, and multi-unit residential construction. It is pulled by low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers during rough-in or retrofit work. The 1,000-foot spool length is standard for conduit pulls and open plenum or non-plenum drops where the installer terminates to keystone jacks, patch panels, or RJ45 field terminations on site.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports standard 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet
• 24 AWG conductor size meets TIA-568 structured cabling requirements
• Polyolefin insulation provides electrical isolation and flexibility during installation
• Unshielded (UTP) construction reduces cost and complexity in low-EMI environments
• Red jacket for easy visual identification and cable plant organization
• 1,000-foot continuous spool minimizes splice points on long runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e UTP bulk cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and field-terminated connectors that meet TIA-568-C.2 Cat5e termination requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or structured cabling professional in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Power down any active network equipment before terminating cable ends. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius and do not staple or crush the cable jacket, as deformation affects transmission performance. Verify jacket rating (plenum, riser, or CMR) is appropriate for the intended pathway before pulling.
