Overview

The Panduit TX5500 Cat 5e U/UTP Riser Cable (SKU: PUR5504BUY) is engineered for dependable, high-speed data transmission specifically designed for riser applications within commercial and industrial network infrastructures. This cable features robust construction utilizing 24 AWG solid copper conductors, each individually insulated with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The design incorporates the twisting of these copper conductors into four distinct pairs. Each of these four pairs is then enveloped by a flame-retardant PVC (CMR) jacket, distinguished by its vibrant blue color for straightforward identification and management. The TX5500 cable adheres to Category 5e standards, enabling it to support data rates up to 100 MHz, making it suitable for a range of demanding network applications. For ease of deployment, particularly in vertical pathways, the cable is conveniently packaged in a 1000 ft. (305m) easy-payout carton. This packaging facilitates efficient installation within riser shafts and other vertical cable management systems, minimizing installation time and effort. The TX5500 is an excellent choice for enterprise networks, data centers, and industrial settings where consistent and reliable performance is paramount. Its construction is optimized to reduce electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable data transfer for critical applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) communications, video surveillance systems, and Gigabit Ethernet deployments. The cable's compliance with UL and CMR flame ratings underscores its suitability and safety for installation in both plenum and riser spaces, meeting stringent building codes and safety requirements. Panduit’s commitment to US-manufactured cabling solutions ensures the delivery of durable, code-compliant infrastructure components designed for long-term reliability.
