West Penn Wire 4245OSPBK1000 Cat 5e Solid Pvc Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 4245OSPBK1000 is a Category 5e solid-conductor data cable designed for structured wiring installations in commercial and residential buildings. Built with four twisted pairs of 24 AWG solid copper conductors and a PVC jacket, this cable supports reliable Ethernet and low-voltage data runs where performance and durability are required. Supplied on a 1000-foot pull, it is sized for full-building horizontal runs and backbone segments. Electricians and low-voltage technicians install this cable as part of structured cabling systems that comply with TIA/EIA-568 standards.

This cable is suited for in-wall, above-ceiling, and conduit-routed data installations in office buildings, schools, light industrial facilities, and residential new construction. The solid-conductor construction makes it the correct choice for permanent horizontal runs terminated at keystone jacks, patch panels, or punchdown blocks. It is not intended for patch cord or frequently flexed applications where stranded-conductor cable is more appropriate.

Key Features

• Category 5e performance rating supports 10/100/1000 Ethernet and other low-voltage data protocols
• 24 AWG solid copper conductors for low-resistance permanent horizontal runs
• 4-pair twisted construction reduces crosstalk and signal interference
• PVC outer jacket rated for general-purpose indoor structured cabling environments
• 1000-foot continuous pull length minimizes splices in long runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose Cat 5e solid cable suitable for use with standard keystone jacks, patch panels, and punchdown blocks that accept 24 AWG 4-pair solid conductors.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and licensed electricians perform structured cabling installations in accordance with TIA/EIA-568 and applicable local codes. Observe minimum bend radius and maximum pulling tension during installation to avoid damaging the conductor geometry. Terminate solid-conductor cable at fixed connection points only - do not use solid-conductor cable as a patch cord. Verify plenum rating requirements before installing in air-handling spaces, as this PVC-jacketed cable is rated for general-purpose use only.
