Superior Essex PW52-H46-78 Cat5 Riser Cable

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX PW52-H46-78 is a Category 5 riser-rated network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. Built to CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) standards, this cable is engineered for vertical runs between floors where fire-retardant properties are required by code. The 4-pair, 22 AWG construction supports standard Ethernet and low-voltage data applications. Licensed low-voltage contractors and network infrastructure installers are the primary trade users for this product.

This riser cable is suited for in-wall and between-floor runs in office buildings, multi-family residential projects, schools, and similar commercial construction. It is used in structured cabling systems where the cable must travel through vertical shaft spaces, risers, or utility chases. The CMR rating makes it the appropriate choice when CM-rated cable is not permitted by the local authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• CMR riser-rated jacket meets NEC Article 800 requirements for vertical cable runs
• 4-pair, 22 AWG conductor configuration for Cat5 data and voice applications
• Category 5 performance supports standard structured cabling installations
• Sold individually as a single unit for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser cable suitable for Cat5 structured wiring systems in commercial and residential low-voltage installations where CMR-rated cable is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or communications cabling contractor in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize any adjacent circuits before pulling cable through conduit or wall cavities. CMR-rated cable is required for riser applications and must not be substituted with CM-rated cable in vertical shaft runs. Always verify local fire and building code requirements before selecting cable type for a given pathway.
