Belkin Cat5e 1000ft Stranded Bulk Cable PVC (Pink)

Overview

The Belkin A7J304-1000-PNK is a Cat5e stranded bulk network cable designed to deliver reliable 10/100Base-T Ethernet connections over long distances. With 1000 feet of flexible 24 AWG stranded copper conductors inside a durable PVC jacket, this cable is ideal for creating custom-length runs in office networks, data centers, classrooms, or home labs. Its pink jacket makes it easy to identify in complex wiring setups, helping reduce errors during maintenance or upgrades.

Key features

• Stranded 24 AWG copper wires provide flexibility for easy routing through conduits and tight spaces without damaging the conductors.
• Four balanced pairs with 100 Ohm impedance ensure consistent signal integrity for Fast Ethernet and voice or control signals.
• Shielded twisted pair construction reduces electromagnetic interference from nearby power lines, lighting, and radio equipment.
• Vibrant pink PVC jacket allows quick visual identification in crowded wiring closets, speeding up moves, adds, and changes.
• 1000-foot length on a single reel supports custom cable runs tailored to specific installation needs.

Key specs

• Cable type: Cat5e shielded twisted pair (STP)
• Conductor gauge: 24 AWG stranded copper
• Number of wires: 8 (4 pairs)
• Impedance: 100 Ohms
• Jacket material: PVC
• Length: 1000 feet

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable supports Fast Ethernet speeds up to 100 Mbps, making it suitable for standard office networks, voice systems, and low-voltage control applications. Its Cat5e rating ensures backward compatibility with older Ethernet standards while providing improved noise resistance. The stranded conductor design is especially beneficial for patch cables or runs requiring frequent handling or bending.

Ideal uses and environments

The Belkin A7J304-1000-PNK fits well in environments where custom cable lengths are needed, such as new office build-outs, data center expansions, or classroom network installations. IT professionals and hobbyists who create their own patch cords will find the stranded wires easier to work with compared to solid conductors. The pink jacket helps maintain organized and easily traceable cable runs in busy wiring closets or labs.
