Belkin CAT5e Stranded Bulk Cable 1000ft (Purple)

Overview

The Belkin A7J304-1000-PUR is a CAT5e stranded bulk Ethernet cable designed for custom network installations in a variety of settings including homes, offices, classrooms, and light industrial environments. This 1000-foot spool features eight stranded 24 AWG conductors that provide flexibility for routing around corners and within cable racks. It supports 10Base-T and 100Base-T Ethernet, making it suitable for data, voice over IP telephony, and printer connections.

The cable’s durable PVC jacket protects against physical damage during installation and everyday use, while the distinctive purple color helps quickly identify and separate network runs in crowded cable trays. Its continuous length allows installers to cut exactly what is needed, reducing waste and simplifying inventory management.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable supports standard Ethernet connections up to 100 Mbps, making it compatible with a wide range of network devices such as routers, switches, VoIP phones, and printers. Its stranded conductors make it well suited for patch cables or runs that require frequent movement or bending, while the CAT5e specification ensures stable data transmission for typical office and home networking needs.

Installation and setup

The flexible stranded conductors and durable PVC jacket simplify installation by allowing the cable to bend easily around corners and through tight spaces without damaging the internal wires. The 1000-foot continuous length lets installers cut the exact amount needed for each run, minimizing excess cable and clutter. The purple jacket color helps technicians quickly identify this cable among others during setup and maintenance.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable is a strong choice for network installations that require flexibility and durability, such as office wiring, classroom networks, and light industrial setups. It works well in environments where cables need to be routed through walls, ceilings, or conduit and where clear cable identification is important for managing multiple network segments or services.
