Black Cat5e Plenum Solid Bare Copper Cable – 1000ft CMP Rated UTP Ethernet Cable

The 52Networks Black Cat5e Plenum Solid Bare Copper Cable is a premium 1000ft bulk Ethernet cable engineered for professional structured cabling installations in commercial, educational, healthcare, and enterprise environments. Manufactured with 100% solid bare copper conductors and protected by a black CMP plenum-rated jacket, this cable delivers dependable Gigabit Ethernet performance while meeting strict fire safety requirements for air-handling spaces.

Designed to outperform copper-clad aluminum (CCA) alternatives, this Black Cat5e Plenum Solid Bare Copper Cable offers lower resistance, superior signal integrity, and reliable Power over Ethernet (PoE) transmission. Rated for 350MHz, it supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) up to 328ft (100 meters), making it an excellent choice for data networks, VoIP systems, IP surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and other high-performance networking applications.

The durable black CMP plenum jacket is manufactured using low-smoke, flame-retardant materials that comply with National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for installation in plenum air spaces. Packaged in a convenient 1000ft easy-pull box, this Black Cat5e bulk cable simplifies installation while reducing tangles and waste on the job site — the black jacket is a popular choice for installers who want cable runs to blend in with equipment racks, conduit, and darker ceiling environments.
