What it is
This is a 1000ft (304.8m) reel of solid-core Cat5e bulk ethernet cable from StarTech.com. It ships unterminated — you cut and terminate to the lengths your job requires. Rated CMR (riser), 24AWG, UTP, with a PVC jacket and support up to 350MHz. UL certified, RoHS compliant, and TAA compliant.
Who it's for
Installers running structured cabling in commercial buildings, schools, offices, or any site where you need a significant run of Cat5e. If you're pulling cable through walls, ceilings, or conduit and terminating on-site, this is the reel to reach for. The CMR riser rating makes it compliant for vertical between-floor runs.
Why it's good
Solid-core construction gives better signal integrity over long runs compared to stranded cable — important when you're running close to the 100m channel limit. The CMR rating satisfies fire safety requirements for in-wall and riser installations without needing plenum-rated cable where it isn't specified. UL certification and RoHS compliance mean it passes site inspections and environmental requirements without discussion. TAA compliance is a bonus for public-sector or government projects.
When to choose it
Choose this when the job calls for a full 1000ft reel of solid Cat5e for permanent, in-wall structured cabling. It's not for patch leads or desktop runs — stranded cable suits those better. This is a fixed-infrastructure cable, best used with keystone jacks or patch panels and a proper termination tool.
