    PVC/Riser grade versus Plenum grade Ethernet cable

    I found about half a 1000ft roll of Cat 5 Ethernet cable. As far as I understand, it's



    Space Shuttle
    CAT5e
    350MHz
    24AWG
    4 Twisted Pairs
    Solid conductors

    How can I find out whether it's PVC/Riser grade or Plenum grade cable?

    thanks much

    I would think they'd both be worth the same.
    There's nothing more fun and more effective than hitting something repeatedly with a sledgehammer

    As scrap? Maybe, but I am trying to sell it on CL as Ethernet cable. The question originated from a potential buyer.

    freecycle

    so it's not like I found it by the side of the road, but it almost feels like it since it was free

    I love freecycle. I got a washer and dryer from there a couple of weeks ago. Dyer works, washer doesn't

    Yes, the place is great. It's amazing what people are willing to part with for free.

    I recently collected two "antique computer pieces": an Apple IIc and a Commodore 64. Both apparently in working order and both with software and some peripherals. So at least I can take them apart as I do other computers, but that's probably not the best solution. A better one is to tell my kids that this is what they get instead of Xbox 360! :-)

    Your kids might flip out!! But I wonder if you could get a premium price for them, since they are older. There are some Org and clubs that collect some older PC's. These two are not rare so there might not be a huge market for them but they may be worth more then scrap price.
