The Wavenet WAV-CAT5-CMR-BK is a 1,000ft bulk Category 5 (Cat5) Ethernet cable designed for commercial and institutional network installations. Featuring four-pair, 24 AWG solid conductors, this cable is suitable for creating custom-length patch cables or for horizontal wiring runs within buildings. Its CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) rating and UL listing confirm compliance for use in riser applications, such as runs between floors in a building, where fire safety standards require a cable that resists flame propagation. This product is intended for IT professionals, network installers, and facility managers who require reliable, standards-compliant cabling for voice and data infrastructure. It addresses the need for bulk cable to support new installations or expand existing Cat5 networks, providing a cost-effective solution for large-scale deployments without pre-terminated lengths.
This cable utilizes four-pair, 24 AWG solid conductors. Solid conductors are generally preferred for permanent installations and longer runs due to their superior electrical performance over stranded conductors.
The Wavenet WAV-CAT5-CMR-BK cable comes in a 1,000ft length, supplied in an easy-pull box for convenient deployment and storage during installation.
Based on the provided specifications, this cable is CMR rated, which is for indoor riser applications. There is no information to suggest it is rated for outdoor use or direct burial.
