Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable operates at 400 MHz bandwidth and supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks, VoIP systems, and other bandwidth-intensive applications. The solid conductor design provides superior performance for permanent installations compared to stranded cables, with reduced attenuation over long distances.
The cable construction includes high-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation that maintains consistent electrical properties, while the purple CMR PVC jacket offers both visual identification and compliance with riser-rated fire safety standards. With bare wire ends, this bulk cable requires termination with appropriate connectors for complete network deployment.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages

FAQ
What is the difference between this solid bulk cable and pre-terminated patch cables?
This is a solid conductor bulk cable designed for permanent structured cabling installations within walls, ceilings, and conduits. Unlike pre-terminated patch cables with connectors already attached, this cable comes with bare wire ends that require termination by installers using RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or patch panels. Solid conductors provide better performance for fixed installations over longer distances compared to the stranded conductors typically found in patch cables.
Can this CAT6 cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this Category 6 cable with 23 AWG solid copper conductors is suitable for Power over Ethernet applications. The robust construction and adequate wire gauge can handle both data transmission and power delivery for devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, security cameras, and other PoE-enabled equipment. Always verify specific power requirements and follow installation guidelines for PoE deployments.
What does CMR rating mean for the cable jacket?
CMR stands for Communications Riser and indicates the cable jacket meets specific fire safety standards for vertical installations in riser spaces between floors. CMR-rated cables produce limited smoke and have reduced flame spread characteristics compared to general-purpose cables, making them suitable for use in building riser shafts, vertical runs, and other spaces where fire could potentially spread between floors.
How does the F/UTP shielding protect network signals?
F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) shielding features an overall foil shield around all four twisted pairs without individual pair shielding. This construction protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from external sources like electrical equipment, fluorescent lighting, or motors. The shielding also reduces near-end crosstalk (NEXT) between adjacent cables, maintaining signal integrity in dense cable bundles or electrically noisy environments.
What termination options are available for the bare wire ends?
The bare wire ends can be terminated with various standard network connectors and components. Common options include RJ45 plugs for direct device connections, keystone jacks for wall plates and patch panels, or punch-down blocks for distribution frames. The 23 AWG solid conductors work with most standard termination tools and connectors designed for solid core network cables. Professional installation with proper testing is recommended.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or direct burial installations?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use with a CMR-rated PVC jacket suitable for riser applications. For outdoor or direct burial installations, you would need a cable specifically rated for outdoor use with additional protection against moisture, UV exposure, and temperature extremes. The CMR rating applies to indoor vertical runs between floors, not exterior or underground environments.
