StarTech WIR5ECMRBK 1000ft Cat5e CMR Riser Bulk Cable

StarTech WIR5ECMRBK 1000ft Cat5e CMR Riser Bulk Cable

Overview

The StarTech WIR5ECMRBK is a high-performance, bulk Category 5e (Cat5e) networking cable engineered for permanent installations in commercial and residential vertical shafts and between floors. As a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rated product, it meets strict fire safety standards for riser applications, preventing the spread of fire from floor to floor. This makes it a primary choice for network engineers and low-voltage contractors building out data center infrastructure or enterprise local area networks.

This 1000-foot (304.8m) spool features 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors, providing superior signal integrity and conductivity compared to copper-clad aluminum (CCA) alternatives. It is designed to support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections and is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, ensuring reliable power delivery to VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points.

The cable is housed in a durable black PVC jacket and is delivered in a "Reel-in-Box" format for tangle-free pulling during long cable runs. Each foot of the cable is marked with sequential measurement indicators, allowing installers to track remaining inventory and measure run lengths accurately without specialized tools.
