For most residential telephone wiring
applications, the correct cable choice is CAT5E. CAT3 cable
would meet minimum requirements for phone and DSL wiring, but
does not cost significantly less than CAT5E. CAT5E cable is
a good value because it is much higher quality cable. No
appreciable improvement in voice or DSL signal will be
achieved by using CAT6 or better cable that costs
significantly more. Most cable suitable for outdoor
residential use is normally less fire resistant and is rated
CMX only. Cable rated CMR is more fire resistant, but most
cable rated only CMR is not suitable for outdoor use. This
cable is CMR/CMX, so it has the fire resistance of CMR and
the weather resistance of CMX. The sheath is marked "WEATHER
RESISTANT" and "CMR" to avoid confusion with less fire
resistant CMX only cable. (In the past this same cable was
marked CMR/CMX, but that caused confusion when some building
inspectors were unsure about the fire rating of the cable, so
the marking was changed.) This cable is ideal for all indoor
and outdoor residential installations. That explains why
this is the only type cable offered at
HomePhoneWiring.com. I used to get a lot of requests for information on where to buy cable, especially in lengths of less than 1000 feet. Every place I know of sells CAT5E cable in 1000 foot boxes or on larger spools. That's great if you're wiring an entire home or office complex, but if you are a homeowner and only need 100 feet to extend to a new jack or to wire your DSL data line, you probably don't want to buy ten times that much. So, by popular demand, I am offering CAT5E CMR/CMX cable in shorter lengths! If you need a 1000 foot box, I think you'll find that the prices here compare favorably with your local home improvement center (if they even stock CAT5E CMR/CMX cable).

Lengths under 1000 ft will be shipped by USPS
Priority Mail. For 1000 ft, Priority Mail will normally be
faster, but you can select shipping by UPS Ground instead.
UPS Ground will probably take a few days longer, but UPS
Ground shipping cost is $10 less.
(For US shipments only.) Canadian customers, please make sure to add Shipping to Canada. Make sure to select the correct charge for the amount of cable you are ordering. |

MUST INCLUDE A DSL SPLITTER OR A MINIMUM OF $15 OF OTHER MATERIALS. LIMIT TO A MAXIMUM OF 50 FEET PER ORDER. This is the same CAT5E CMR/CMX Weather Resistant Cable offered above, just custom cut to "by-the-foot" lengths. If you are installing a DSL splitter you might need a few feet of new cable to extend from the Network Interface Device (NID) to the splitter. If you are installing a wiring block you might need a few feet of cable as a new entry cable from the NID to the block. In the past, I didn't sell cable "by-the-foot" because of problems related to expeditiously processing cable orders that each required a custom "cut and coil" job without negatively impacting to speed of processing other orders. I was also concerned about the potential for waste and other problems related to managing partial "remnant spools" of various lengths. However, many customers buying splitter and wiring blocks regularly ask me about the possibility of buying just a few feet of the CAT5E CMR/CMX Weather Resistant Cable to facilitate connecting those items to the NID and I wanted to accommodate those customers if practical. After much consideration, I decided I could deal with offering cable "by-the-foot" on a limited basis with the restriction noted above. Cable "by-the-foot" will be cut and coiled as a separate piece of cable. It CANNOT be added to the bulk cable items above to "extend" the continuous length of those items. Please comply with the restrictions on ordering shown above. It may be necessary to cancel orders that violate those restrictions, in which case the customer will be notified and it will be necessary to submit a new order. Shipping = Base + $0.15 Per Foot |
