Cisco CAB-CAT5E-CMP-20M= Ethernet Cat5e Plenum 20 meter grijze bulk-kabel

The Cisco CAB-CAT5E-CMP-20M= is a high-performance Cat5e plenum-rated bulk Ethernet cable, designed for safe and reliable network installations in commercial plenum spaces. Manufactured to meet stringent fire safety standards, this 20-meter (65.6 ft) cable features solid bare copper conductors and UTP construction, delivering up to 1 Gbps data transfer rates over 100 MHz bandwidth. Ideal for structured cabling systems, it ensures low signal interference and long-term durability.

Advantages

Plenum-rated (CMP) jacket complies with NFPA 262 for low smoke and flame spread, making it suitable for air-handling spaces. Solid bare copper conductors provide superior conductivity and signal integrity compared to copper-clad aluminum. The 24 AWG wire gauge and 8-conductor (4-pair) design support Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Bulk unterminated ends allow custom termination to RJ45 connectors or patch panels, offering flexibility for various installation lengths.

Suitable for

• Data center and enterprise network cabling
• Plenum-rated environments (ceilings, raised floors, air ducts)
• Structured cabling systems requiring TIA/EIA-568-C.2 compliance
• PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones
