About Cat5e Riser Cables
The Cat5e riser cable collection is engineered for vertical network runs inside multi-level buildings where controlled flame spread is required. These cables carry a Cat5e riser CMR rating and are commonly routed through walls, shafts, and floor-to-floor pathways.
Available in bulk lengths such as Cat5e riser copper 1000ft and Cat5e riser UTP 1000 feet bulk, this category supports structured cabling projects that demand consistency and code compliance. Options like Cat5e riser pure copper cable ensure steady signal performance across long vertical distances.

CMR-Rated Fire Resistance
Every Cat5e riser cable is designed to slow flame travel between floors. This property supports safer installations in vertical pathways without requiring plenum-rated materials.
Pure Copper Signal Path
Solutions such as Cat5e riser pure copper 1000 ft use solid copper conductors. This supports stable data transmission and dependable performance across extended riser runs.
Bulk-Length Installation Support
Large installations benefit from Cat5e riser copper bulk cable options. Bulk spools reduce splicing and support clean routing across multiple floors.
Shielded and UTP Configurations
The collection includes Cat5e shielded riser cables for interference-prone environments, along with unshielded options for standard vertical installations.
Thermal Stability in Operation
Controlled cat5e riser temperature tolerance supports consistent performance during daily building operation and seasonal temperature changes.
Cat5e Riser Copper Bulk Cable
This type is suited for large-scale vertical deployments. Cat5e riser copper bulk cable supports uninterrupted runs while meeting riser fire safety standards.
Cat5e Solid Riser Rated Cable
Cat5e solid riser-rated cables are commonly used for permanent building infrastructure. Solid conductors support reliable Ethernet transmission across floors.
Cat5e Ethernet Cable Riser
Cat5e Ethernet cable riser options combine standard Ethernet performance with CMR fire resistance, making them suitable for commercial buildings.
Cat5e Riser Wire for Structured Cabling
Cat5e riser wire is often used inside walls and riser shafts where vertical routing is required.
Shielded Cat5e Riser Cable
Shielded riser Cat5e cables help manage electrical interference in cable-dense shafts or near power infrastructure.
Multi-Floor Commercial Buildings
Cat5e riser cabling supports safe network distribution between floors in offices, hotels, and mixed-use properties.
Telecom and Network Closets
These cables connect intermediate distribution frames across floors while maintaining compliance with fire codes.
Educational Facilities and Healthcare Buildings
Schools and universities rely on riser cabling to link classrooms and labs across multiple levels. Hospitals use riser-rated Cat5e cables to support vertical network runs while meeting safety requirements.
Structured Cabling Infrastructure
Installers choose riser-rated Cat5e for organized systems that allow easier maintenance and future expansion.

What is Cat5e riser cable?
Cat5e riser cable is a CMR-rated Ethernet cable designed for vertical installations between floors, helping slow flame spread inside walls and shafts.
What is Cat5e riser cable used for?
It is used for floor-to-floor network connections in commercial and residential buildings where riser fire ratings are required.
What is AWG data cable for Cat5e riser?
Most Cat5e riser cables use 24 AWG solid copper conductors, supporting stable Ethernet data transmission.
What is a riser cable Cat5e?
A riser Cat5e cable is an Ethernet cable rated for vertical runs that meets CMR fire safety standards.
What is the difference between riser and plenum Cat5e cable?
The difference between Cat5 riser and plenum cable lies in fire behavior. Plenum cables limit smoke, while riser cables slow flame spread.
What's the difference between Cat5e Ethernet cable and Cat5e riser cable?
The difference between Cat5e riser and non-riser cable is the fire rating. Riser cables meet CMR standards, while standard Ethernet cables may not.
