Wirepath NST-CAT5E-1000-BLU Cat5e Riser Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT5E-1000-BLU is a 1000-foot spool of Category 5e riser-rated (CMR) unshielded twisted pair cable, supplied in a pull box for clean, tangle-free installation. Cat5e riser cable supports data transmission at up to 100 MHz and is the standard choice for structured wiring runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. The riser rating meets fire code requirements for use in vertical shaft applications. This blue jacket makes it easy to identify network runs during installation and future service work.

This cable is suited for low-voltage network and voice infrastructure in residential and light commercial settings. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use it to run horizontal and vertical data drops to patch panels, switches, and wall jacks. The 1000-foot pull box format is designed for bulk rough-in work, supporting multiple drops from a single box. Blue jacket color aids cable management and identification in structured wiring enclosures and data closets.

Key Features

• 1000-foot continuous pull box eliminates spool tangling during installation
• Category 5e specification supports standard Ethernet and VoIP applications
• Riser (CMR) rating approved for vertical runs between building floors
• Blue jacket for easy identification in multi-cable installations
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for straightforward inventory management

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e riser bulk cable for use with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs in structured low-voltage wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Observe all local building and fire codes governing riser-rated cable routing through vertical shafts and plenum spaces. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not exceed the cable pull tension rating during long runs. Terminate conductors in the correct pair order per T568A or T568B wiring standards as specified by the project design.
