The Cat5e Riser Bare Copper belongs to the fifth generation of the Ethernet cable. The Cat5e Riser Copper 1000ft is a cost-effective solution to all of your connectivity needs. Let’s explore more about this amazing ethernet cable. 

Cat5e Jacket

The cable comes with a CMR-rated jacket that is the second-best rating when it comes to ethernet jackets after CMP. CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Riser. The Cat5e Riser Solid Cable jacket has fire retardant properties and its thick material provides top-notch protection against crosstalk and prevents electromagnetic interference. 

As far as standards are concerned, the Cat5e Riser Copper 1000ft cable meets all industry standards including FCC, CE, CSA, ISO/IES, and is RoHS compliant. The cable has been extensively tested for various security measures to ensure that it is completely safe for installation. The cable has passed through fluke testing also. 

The inner structure comprises 8 pure copper conductors that are tightly bundled together to provide high-speed uninterrupted connectivity. These conductors are made of pure copper and are unshielded. Here, it is pertinent to note that pure copper or solid copper conductors perform better than CCA (copper-clad aluminum) conductors. Pure copper cables have far less attenuation which means signal quality remains intact. Higher attenuation increases the amount of energy being transferred into heat, thus decreasing the amount of power that can be transferred. Also, pure copper conductors have greater protection against all types of crosstalk including alien crosstalk and next-generation crosstalk. Therefore, spending some extra bucks is always better and purchasing a pure copper cable for connectivity purposes. 

Moving onto data transfer speeds, the Cat5e Riser Copper 1000ft cable exhibits data transfer rates of 1Gbps and 100 Mbps over up to lengths of 50 meters and 100 meters, respectively. With a bandwidth of 350 MHz, the signal quality remains intact over a longer distance. The cable runs 24AWG. Since it is a bulk cable, it comes in an easy-pull-box. 

Why do you need Cat5e Riser Copper Bulk?

The Cat5e Riser Copper Bulk is used in the riser or vertical spaces of the buildings. You can also use this cable for outdoor spaces as its jacket is made from high-quality polyvinyl chloride. 

Due to its fire-resistant properties, this ethernet cable halts fire progression and emits very low toxic elements or gases (when it comes in contact with blaze).  You can use this cable for both residential and commercial purposes.
