Shop Cat 5e bulk Ethernet cable for structured cabling, network drops, equipment wiring and custom network cable assemblies. Wallco offers Category 5e cable in solid and stranded conductor constructions, multiple jacket colors and bulk-length configurations.
Compare cable by conductor construction, pair count, shielding, jacket type, installation rating, color and required bulk length.
Category 5e bulk cable is commonly used for structured cabling, network drops and custom Ethernet cable assemblies. Selecting the proper conductor construction and installation rating helps match the cable to permanent building wiring, equipment connections and other network applications.
Solid-conductor Cat 5e cable is commonly used for fixed horizontal cabling between patch panels, telecommunications rooms and work-area outlets. Solid conductors are well suited to compatible insulation-displacement jacks, patch panels and other structured-cabling terminations.
Stranded Cat 5e cable provides greater flexibility for equipment leads and custom patch-cable applications where repeated movement may occur. Match the cable to plugs and termination hardware designed for stranded conductors.
Ethernet installations commonly use four-pair cable, while selected communication applications may use other pair counts. Confirm the conductor count, wire gauge and cable construction required by the connected equipment and termination hardware.
Bulk network cable may be available with different jacket materials and installation ratings. Building codes and project specifications may require a particular cable rating, so verify the exact product construction before installing cable in walls, ceilings or air-handling spaces.
Determine whether the installation requires solid or stranded conductors, then compare pair count, shielding, jacket rating, color and total cable length. Also verify compatibility with the modular jacks, plugs or patch panels that will terminate the cable.
