West Penn Wire 254245EZBK1000 Cat5e Cmp Cable Black

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 254245EZBK1000 is a Cat5e plenum-rated (CMP) ethernet cable in black, supplied on a 1000-foot spool. Cat5e supports data transmission at up to 100 MHz and is suitable for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential buildings. The CMP plenum jacket rating meets fire and smoke performance requirements for installation in air-handling spaces, including plenum ceilings and raised-floor environments. Low-voltage cabling technicians and licensed electricians install this cable as horizontal runs in data networks, telephone infrastructure, and voice-over-IP systems.

This cable is suited for in-wall and above-ceiling cable runs where plenum-rated material is required by local code. Typical applications include structured wiring in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-unit residential projects. The black jacket aids in color-coding cable plant installations. At 1000 feet, the spool supports full-floor horizontal runs without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• CMP plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke standards for air-handling spaces
• Cat5e performance supports up to 100 MHz bandwidth for data and voice networks
• 1000-foot spool length supports large-scale structured cabling pulls
• Black jacket for color-coded cable plant organization
• Sold as a single spool (unit of measure: each)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e CMP plenum cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs conforming to TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communication cables. Verify local code requirements for plenum-rated cable before specifying CMP in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not exceed the cable pull tension rated for Cat5e during installation. Terminate both ends to TIA-568A or TIA-568B standards using the appropriate punchdown or crimp tooling.
