The StarTech.com WIR5ECMRWH is a 1000 ft Cat5e riser bulk cable designed for reliable Ethernet network connections in installations requiring CMR fire rating. It offers superior value and performance due to its 100% copper conductors and 24 AWG wire, making it suitable for demanding applications like Power over Ethernet (PoE). While it provides excellent reliability and organization with its white PVC jacket and Reelex box packaging, users must be aware that it requires termination with appropriate connectors as it is a bulk cable.

100% copper conductors provide superior electrical conductivity, ensuring better signal integrity, lower resistance for power delivery (crucial for PoE), and overall greater reliability compared to copper-coated aluminum (CCA) cables.
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Resin. 'Riser Rated' indicates that the cable has met specific fire safety standards required for running vertically between floors in non-plenum spaces (e.g., between-floor or in-wall runs).
Yes, this Cat5e cable is rated for up to 350 MHz and supports data transfer rates of 1000 Mbit/s, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Yes, you will need tools for terminating the cable, including an RJ45 crimping tool, an RJ45 connector (for Cat5e), and a cable stripper/cutter.
No, this cable is Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). It is designed for general-purpose networking where high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) are not a primary concern.
Both T568A and T568B are standards for wiring Ethernet cables. You should choose one standard and use it consistently throughout your installation. T568B is more commonly used in North America. Ensure both ends of a patch cable use the same standard, or use different standards for horizontal runs and patch panels if required by your system design.
This product is backed by StarTech.com's Lifetime Warranty, providing assurance of quality and reliability.
Verify that both ends of the cable are correctly terminated with RJ45 connectors. Use a cable tester to check for continuity, shorts, and correct wire mapping. Ensure the cable is securely plugged into network ports.
Check for damage to the cable, such as kinks or cuts. Ensure the cable is not exceeding the maximum recommended length for Cat5e (100 meters / 328 feet) for a single run without a network device. Verify that the connected devices support the expected speeds.
Confirm that the cable is 100% copper (not CCA) and 24 AWG as specified. Ensure terminations are clean and secure, as poor connections can impede power delivery. Check that the power source and the PoE device are compatible.
Ensure the box is positioned correctly and the cable is feeding out smoothly. Check for any snags or tangles within the box or along the pull path. Do not force the cable, as this can cause damage.
