The 057-900 Series is a CAT5E CMP cable engineered for plenum air-handling space installations requiring EMI protection and PoE Type 3 power delivery. This CAT5E CMP cable features 24 AWG solid bare copper conductors with F/UTP foil shielding and a CMP-rated PVC jacket for fire safety compliance.
KEY FEATURES
Here’s what makes the 057-900 Series ideal for shielded plenum installations:
- 24 AWG Solid Bare Copper: Eight solid copper conductors (4 pairs) deliver consistent signal transmission and reliable PoE power delivery.
- F/UTP Foil Shielding: Overall aluminum foil shield provides superior EMI/RFI protection for noise-sensitive environments.
- Solid Tinned Copper Drain Wire: 0.016 in. (0.40 mm) drain wire ensures proper shield grounding for optimal noise rejection.
- 350 MHz Bandwidth: Supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications with reliable performance.
- PoE Type 3 Support: Supports IEEE 802.3bt up to 51W for powering network devices like IP cameras and wireless access points.
- CMP Plenum-Rated Jacket: PVC jacket meets NEC requirements for installation in air-handling spaces without conduit.
- FEP Insulation: Fluorinated ethylene propylene insulation ensures excellent electrical performance and fire safety.
- PE Tape Bond: Additional tape layer maintains cable geometry and enhances shielding effectiveness.
- Aramid Yarn Ripcord: Easy jacket removal for efficient termination.
- Vivid Color Coding: Easy-to-see conductor insulation colors for accurate pair identification during termination.
- Standards Compliant: Meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, ISO/IEC 11801, and UL444 specifications.
- ETL-Listed and RoHS Compliant: Third-party verified for safety and environmental compliance.
- 1000 ft Pull Box: Convenient pull box packaging for efficient installation.
