West Penn Wire 254245EZGY1000 Cat 5e Plenum Cable Gray

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 254245EZGY1000 is a Cat 5e plenum-rated network cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. Plenum-rated cable meets the fire and smoke requirements for use in air-handling spaces such as drop ceilings and raised floors where building codes prohibit standard PVC jacketed cables. This cable supports high-speed data and voice transmission up to Category 5e performance standards. Network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and licensed electricians use this cable when routing signal pathways through plenum air spaces. The gray jacket aids in identification and organization within high-density cable runs.

This Cat 5e plenum cable is suited for horizontal runs in commercial office environments, schools, healthcare facilities, and any building where plenum-rated wiring is required by local fire codes. It supports standard structured cabling applications including Ethernet networking, VoIP telephone systems, and other low-voltage data distribution. The 1000-foot pull box format is standard for rough-in installations where long continuous runs are needed between closets and endpoints.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• Cat 5e performance supports standard data and voice structured cabling applications
• Gray jacket for easy identification in multi-cable installations
• 1000-foot continuous length minimizes splices in long horizontal runs
• Sold individually as a single 1000-foot pull box

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated Cat 5e structured cabling solution compatible with standard RJ-45 termination hardware, patch panels, and keystone jacks used in commercial and residential low-voltage network installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 governing communications wiring and local building codes. Verify plenum space designations with the building's mechanical drawings before routing cable through ceiling cavities or raised floor plenums. Do not exceed the cable's minimum bend radius or apply pulling tension beyond the manufacturer's rating during installation. Label all runs at both ends per TIA-606 standards for organized termination and future serviceability.
