Product Features
Technical Overview
This Axiom cable meets Category 6 specifications, supporting data transmission speeds up to 1 Gbps and a bandwidth of 550MHz. The 23AWG solid copper conductors provide low resistance and stable performance, ideal for permanent installations where cable movement is minimal. The 4-pair twisted-pair construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable network connectivity.
The plenum-rated jacket is made from low-smoke, flame-retardant materials that meet UL and NEC requirements for use in plenum spaces. This rating is critical for installations in commercial buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities where fire safety is a priority. The cable's design supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, delivering both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom CAT6 bulk cable spool combines performance, safety, and installation flexibility for network professionals. Its plenum rating eliminates the need for separate conduit in air-handling spaces, reducing material and labor costs while ensuring code compliance. The solid 23AWG conductors offer superior electrical characteristics compared to stranded cables for fixed runs, minimizing signal loss over long distances.
Installation Flexibility
The 1000-foot bulk spool allows custom cable lengths, reducing waste and enabling precise runs for structured cabling systems. Technicians can terminate cables on-site with RJ45 connectors or patch panels.
- Custom-length cuts
- On-site termination
- Reduced material waste
Fire Safety Compliance
The plenum-rated jacket meets strict fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces, making it suitable for commercial buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities without additional conduit.
- Low-smoke materials
- Flame-retardant
- UL/NEC compliant
Deployment / Use Cases
This Axiom CAT6 plenum cable is ideal for new construction or retrofit projects in commercial, educational, and institutional settings. It supports Gigabit Ethernet networks for data centers, office buildings, and campus environments where reliable high-speed connectivity is essential. The plenum rating makes it particularly valuable for installations above drop ceilings or in HVAC ducts where standard riser-rated cables would require conduit.
Common applications include backbone cabling between network switches, horizontal runs to workstations, and infrastructure for IP security systems. It is also suitable for Power over Ethernet deployments, providing both data and power to devices like wireless access points, IP phones, and LED lighting systems. The blue color aids in cable identification and organization within complex network racks and pathways.

FAQ
What is the difference between plenum-rated and riser-rated cable?
Plenum-rated cable has a fire-retardant jacket that produces low smoke and toxicity when burned, making it safe for use in air-handling spaces like plenums, ducts, or drop ceilings without conduit. Riser-rated cable is for vertical runs between floors and may require conduit in plenum areas. This Axiom cable is plenum-rated, meeting UL and NEC standards for commercial installations.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this Category 6 cable with 23AWG solid conductors supports Power over Ethernet applications. The thicker 23AWG wire reduces resistance, allowing efficient power delivery alongside data transmission to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones over distances up to 100 meters.
How do I terminate the bare wire ends of this bulk cable?
The bare wire ends require termination with RJ45 connectors using a crimping tool or installation into patch panels or keystone jacks. This allows custom cable lengths for structured cabling systems. For best results, use compatible Category 6 connectors and follow standard wiring schemes like T568A or T568B.
What network speeds does this Category 6 cable support?
This cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) speeds up to 1 Gbps with a bandwidth of 550MHz. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, making it suitable for upgrading existing infrastructure while ensuring future-ready performance for high-speed data transfer.
