Wirepath NST-CAT5ER-1000-BLK Cat5e Bulk Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH NST-CAT5ER-1000-BLK is a 1000-foot bulk spool of Cat5e riser-rated (CMR) ethernet cable in black. Cat5e supports data transmission at up to 100 MHz and is the standard choice for structured wiring installations in residential and light commercial environments. The riser rating allows vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces, meeting fire-code requirements for in-wall and in-conduit routing. Low-voltage installers and network technicians pull this cable during rough-in for data drops, VoIP stations, and IP device connections throughout a building.

This bulk spool is suited for new construction and retrofit structured cabling projects where large quantities of horizontal or vertical cable runs are required. It is commonly installed in walls, ceilings, and conduit to terminate at keystone jacks, patch panels, or RJ45 connectors. The 1000-foot spool length reduces the number of splices and makes it practical for full-floor or multi-room deployments. Low-voltage contractors and AV integrators are the primary installers for this cable type.

Key Features

• 1000-foot bulk spool reduces job-site waste and minimizes splice points
• Cat5e specification supports up to 100 MHz bandwidth for standard Ethernet and PoE applications
• Riser (CMR) rating suitable for vertical runs in non-plenum wall and conduit pathways
• Black jacket color supports color-coded infrastructure management on larger installations
• Sold as a single spool unit for straightforward job costing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e riser bulk cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and field-termination connectors that accept 24 AWG or 23 AWG Cat5e conductors in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified network technician in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. De-energize any adjacent electrical circuits and follow local building codes for in-wall cable routing before pulling cable through stud bays or conduit. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius of the cable jacket and do not staple through the jacket. Terminate both ends using the same wiring standard, either T568A or T568B, throughout the installation to maintain continuity.
