Superior Essex PW52-H46-25 Cat5e Cmr Riser Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX PW52-H46-25 is a Category 5e riser-rated (CMR) network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. Built as a 4-pair, 22 AWG unshielded twisted-pair cable, it meets CMR fire-resistance requirements for runs through vertical shafts and between floors. Supplied on a 1,000-foot pull box in blue, this cable is the standard choice for low-voltage data network installers pulling horizontal and backbone drops where plenum-rated cable is not required. Licensed low-voltage contractors and network cabling technicians are the primary installers.

This Cat5e CMR cable is suited for structured cabling in office buildings, schools, hotels, and multi-story residential construction. It supports Ethernet network runs from patch panels to wall outlets and between telecom closets. The 1,000-foot pull box format is designed for efficient feeding through conduit or open cable tray without tangling. Blue jacket color is commonly used for standard data network runs under TIA-606 color-coding conventions, aiding circuit identification during installation and future service.

Key Features

• CMR riser rating meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical inter-floor cable runs
• Category 5e performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 100 MHz bandwidth applications
• 4-pair, 22 AWG construction for standard structured cabling applications
• 1,000-foot pull box packaging reduces installation time and cable waste
• Blue PVC jacket supports field identification and TIA-606 color-coding practices
• Non-plenum rated — suitable for riser and general-purpose pathways where air-handling spaces are not present

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation cable for Cat5e non-plenum riser wiring applications. Compatible with standard RJ-45 toolless and punch-down terminations used in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified network cabling technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. Confirm that CMR-rated cable is approved for the intended pathway — plenum-rated (CMP) cable is required in any air-handling space or return-air plenum. De-energize all active network equipment in the affected circuits before terminating. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius and do not exceed the cable pulling tension rating during installation.
