Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable operates at 400 MHz, meeting TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standards for enhanced performance. The F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction includes an overall foil shield that provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding, combined with precise twist ratios, minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for cleaner data transmission.
The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) rating indicates suitability for vertical runs between floors in plenum spaces, where fire safety is critical. The PVC jacket material offers durability and resistance to abrasion, ensuring long-term reliability in installed environments. With a weight of approximately 16.33 kg per spool, this cable is manageable for professional installers handling large-scale projects.

Deployment / Use Cases
This CAT6 bulk cable is ideal for structured cabling systems in offices, data centers, educational institutions, and industrial facilities. Its 1000-foot length supports large-scale installations where long cable runs are required between network switches, patch panels, and end devices.
Common applications include backbone connections between telecommunications rooms, horizontal runs to workstations, and infrastructure for VoIP systems, security cameras, and access control networks. The CMR rating makes it suitable for vertical riser applications in multi-story buildings, while the shielding ensures reliable performance in environments with electrical noise.
Commercial Office Networks
Deploy as permanent infrastructure for Ethernet networks, supporting high-speed internet, file sharing, and cloud applications across multiple floors.
Data Center Backbone
Use for server-to-switch connections and inter-rack cabling where consistent 1 Gbit/s performance and EMI protection are critical.
Physical Profile
The cable features a blue PVC jacket that provides both visual identification and physical protection. With an approximate weight of 16.33 kg per 1000-foot spool, it balances capacity with manageable handling for installation teams. The solid conductor construction maintains shape and performance in fixed installations, while the CMR rating ensures compliance with fire safety codes for riser applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this CAT6 cable?
This Black Box CAT6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second). It operates at 400 MHz frequency, meeting Category 6 specifications for high-speed Ethernet networks, making it suitable for modern business applications requiring reliable bandwidth.
Can this cable be used for outdoor installations?
This cable is designed for indoor use with a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) rating, which indicates suitability for vertical runs between floors in plenum spaces. It is not rated for direct outdoor exposure. For outdoor applications, consider cables with specific outdoor ratings and additional weather protection.
What does F/UTP shielding mean for this network cable?
F/UTP stands for Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair. This cable features an overall foil shield around all four twisted pairs, providing protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding helps maintain signal integrity in environments with electrical noise, such as near machinery or power lines.
How do I terminate this bulk cable with bare wire ends?
The bare wire ends require termination using appropriate tools and connectors. You can use RJ45 connectors for patch cables, keystone jacks for wall plates, or punch-down blocks for patch panels. Ensure you follow TIA/EIA-568 wiring standards (T568A or T568B) for consistent performance and compatibility with network equipment.
What is the advantage of using solid conductor cable versus stranded?
Solid conductor cables, like this Black Box CAT6, provide better electrical performance over longer distances and are more durable in permanent installations. They maintain shape and signal integrity in fixed runs through walls, ceilings, and conduits. Stranded cables are more flexible and better suited for patch cords that are frequently moved.
Does this cable come with any warranty or compliance certifications?
Yes, this cable includes a lifetime limited warranty from Black Box Corporation. It is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for U.S. government procurement. The cable is also environmentally friendly and manufactured in Taiwan, ensuring adherence to quality and regulatory standards.
