FAQ

What is the difference between PVC, Plenum, and Direct Burial cables?

  • PVC (CM) cables are for general use and are not rated for plenum spaces.

  • Plenum-rated (CMP) cables are specifically designed for use in air ducts, with a jacket that emits less smoke in the event of a fire.

  • Direct Burial (CMX) cables are designed for outdoor use, with a robust jacket that can withstand harsh conditions and moisture exposure.

Can I use Cat 5E shielded cables in outdoor installations?

Yes, we offer Direct Burial (CMX) rated cables that are specifically designed for outdoor and underground use, with added protection against environmental elements like water, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations.

What is the maximum distance I can run this cable?

Cat 5E cables typically support up to 100 meters (328 feet) for high-speed Ethernet and other network applications without significant signal degradation. For longer distances, consider using signal boosters or fiber optics.

What types of connectors are compatible with Cat 5E shielded cables?

Cat 5E shielded cables typically use RJ45 connectors, and when working with shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, it's important to use shielded connectors to maintain the integrity of the shielding.

What does the term "shielded" mean?

"Shielded" refers to the additional layer of protection around the twisted pairs of wires inside the cable, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources, providing better performance in environments with high electrical noise.

Do you offer custom lengths for Cat 5E cables?

While these stock cables are available in 1000-foot reels, custom lengths and other configurations can be accommodated through our customizable cable options available on our website.
