General Cable CP5.30.07 Cat5e 24/4pr CMP Plenum 1000ft – Blue

General Cable CP5.30.07 Cat5e 24/4pr CMP Plenum 1000ft – Blue

With its Cat5e (Category 5e) rating, the cable provides reliable performance for Ethernet networks. It is capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) and is backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat3 standards. This makes it suitable for various data and voice applications, including computer networks, telephony, and multimedia streaming.

The cable consists of 24 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper conductors arranged in 4 twisted pairs. This configuration minimizes crosstalk and interference, ensuring reliable data transmission with reduced signal degradation. The conductors are color-coded for easy identification and termination, simplifying the installation process.

It features a CMP-rated plenum jacket, which provides excellent protection and insulation for the conductors. The jacket is made of a flame-retardant material that self-extinguishes when the flame source is removed. This adds an extra layer of safety and helps to meet building codes and regulations.

The cable is designed for easy installation, with its flexible and lightweight construction. It can be easily routed through tight spaces and around corners, making it convenient for various installation scenarios. Its 1000ft length provides ample cable for large-scale projects, allowing for flexibility in cable routing and termination points.

Specifications

• Conductor Material: The cable features solid copper conductors, which provide excellent conductivity and signal transmission performance.
• Conductor Size: The conductors have a gauge size of 24 AWG (American Wire Gauge), which ensures optimal performance and flexibility.
• Insulation Material: Each conductor is individually insulated with high-quality, color-coded polyethylene (PE) insulation. This insulation helps to maintain the integrity of the electrical signal and prevents crosstalk between the conductors.
• Twisted Pair Construction: The cable consists of 4 twisted pairs of conductors. The twisting of the pairs helps to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring reliable data transmission.
• Overall Diameter: The cable has an overall diameter that meets industry standards for Cat5e cables. This allows for compatibility with standard connectors and termination equipment.
• Operating Temperature Range: The cable is designed to operate within a wide temperature range, typically from -20?C to +75?C (-4F to +167F). This ensures its suitability for various environmental conditions.
• RoHS Compliance: The cable complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, which restricts the use of certain hazardous materials in electronic and electrical equipment.

Features

• Plenum-rated: The cable is specifically designed for installation in plenum spaces, which are areas in buildings used for air circulation. Plenum-rated cables have fire-resistant and low-smoke properties, making them safe for use in these environments.
• Enhanced Performance: The cable meets the Cat5e standard, which ensures reliable performance and supports data transmission speeds up to 1 gigabit per second. It is suitable for various applications, including Ethernet networking, voice, and video.
• Easy Identification: The cable jacket is color-coded in blue, allowing for easy identification and organization during installation. This simplifies the process of routing and managing multiple cables.
• Durability: The cable is built to withstand the rigors of installation and daily use. It features a durable jacket material that provides protection against external factors such as moisture, abrasion, and impact.
• Easy Termination: The cable is designed for easy termination with standard Cat5e connectors. It is compatible with various termination methods, including punch-down blocks, keystone jacks, and modular plugs.
• Length Markings: The cable is marked at regular intervals with length indicators, such as foot or meter markings. This makes it convenient to measure and cut the cable to the desired length during installation.
• Versatility: The cable is suitable for both horizontal and vertical installations, making it versatile for various applications, including building cabling, data centers, and telecommunications infrastructure.
