Why Choose Cat5e Plenum Cables?
  • Fire-Resistant & Code-Compliant - Manufactured with low-smoke, flame-retardant materials, making them safer than standard riser-rated cables in case of a fire.
  • CMP-Rated for Commercial Installations - Clearly labeled CMP (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Plenum) to ensure compliance with local and national fire codes.
  • High-Speed & Reliable Performance - 350 MHz bandwidth supports Gigabit Ethernet, ensuring fast and stable data transfer for business-critical applications.
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) Compatible - Delivers both power and data through a single cable, ideal for IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP systems.
  • Pure Copper Conductors - Never CCA - Built with 24AWG solid copper, ensuring maximum conductivity and longevity. We do not use CCA (Copper-Clad Aluminum), which can degrade performance and safety.

Understanding Plenum vs. Riser Cables

Although CMP (Plenum-rated) and CMR (Riser-rated) cables perform similarly, plenum-rated cables provide enhanced fire resistance for environments where air circulation is present, such as ceilings and walls. For new installations or wiring upgrades, choosing plenum-rated Cat5e ensures compliance with fire codes and long-term safety.

Cat5e Plenum Cable Specifications:
  • 24AWG Pure Copper Conductors - Never CCA for superior signal quality
  • 350 MHz Rated - Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds
  • Plenum CMP-Rated - Safe for air-handling spaces and commercial installations
  • PoE Compatible - Powers network devices without additional electrical wiring
