Solid Cat5e Ethernet cable is the most popular cable for long, stationary runs, in a home or office network. While solid conductor cable is not as flexible as those with stranded conductors, it provides better performance over longer distances. This bulk cable is in an easy-pull box and can be measured and cut to exact distances, then terminated to a connector, jack, or patch panel.

Features: PVC Jacket Solid 24 AWG Bare Copper Conductors Tested to 350 MHz Meets Cat5e Standards RoHS Compliant UL-Listed CMX Rated

Solid Plenum Cat6 is designed to meet the strictest of electrical codes; our plenum cable meets or exceeds many common cable standards. The slow burn, low smoke jacket is comprised from CMP rated PVC. Four color-striped pairs make it easy to install and reduces alien crosstalk. Plenum cable is commonly used for structured cabling projects such as vertical, horizontal, or backbone systems. This bulk cable is in an easy-pull box and can be measured and cut to exact distances, then terminated to a connector, jack, or patch panel. Cat6 is certified for gigabit Ethernet. Features: Jacket Fire Retardant Polyvinyl Chloride (FR-PVC) 23 AWG Stranded Bare Copper Conductors Tested up to 550 MHz Meets Cat6 Standards RoHS Compliant ETL Listed CMP Rated "Plenum" refers to the highest fire-resistance standard of the National Electrical Code (NEC). Many local building codes specify that plenum-rated cables must be used in plenum air-return spaces, such as drop ceilings. These cables have special fire-retardant jackets, but there is no performance difference between plenum and non-plenum cables. Because plenum cables meet the highest standard, they can be used in any application, but due to price differences it makes sense only to use plenum cables when necessary.

ShowMeCables presents a video on the cat5e RJ45 field termination connector and how the toolless design allows you to quickly and easily terminate cat5e cable. The clamshell design punches down each RJ45 conductor on it's own for a reliable connection. 

ShowMeCables presents a video on how to terminate this cat6 connector by feeding each conductor through the guide and simply push the guide into the RJ45 connector and crimp. These connectors are useful for creating custom-length patch cables from bulk cable. The pinout for these connectors can be either TIA/EIA 568 or 568B

ShowMeCables presents a video about this shielded Cat6a RJ45 modular connector and how it is designed to terminate solid or stranded cat6 network cable. The RJ45 connector contains two metal "teeth" that hold the wire in place giving a reliable connection. Easy to terminate, these connectors are useful for creating custom-length patch cables from bulk cable. The pinout for these connectors can be either TIA/EIA 568 or 568B.
