Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable operates at a 550-MHz frequency, supporting high-bandwidth applications and reducing crosstalk for clear data transmission. The solid conductor design enhances performance in permanent installations, such as in-wall or ceiling runs, compared to stranded cables typically used for patch cords.
With a 23 AWG gauge, the cable provides robust electrical characteristics for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications, delivering both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The absence of shielding simplifies installation while maintaining compliance with Category 6 standards for up to 100-meter runs.
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
This cable offers several advantages for network infrastructure projects, combining performance, safety, and durability. Its design prioritizes ease of installation and long-term reliability in commercial settings.
Plenum-Rated Safety
The CMP (Communications Plenum) jacket is flame retardant and low-smoke, meeting strict fire codes for use in plenum spaces where air circulates. This reduces fire hazards and ensures compliance with building regulations.
- Flame retardant
- Low-smoke emission
- Suitable for air-handling areas
High-Speed Performance
Supporting gigabit Ethernet and beyond, this CAT6 cable handles bandwidth-intensive tasks like video streaming, large file transfers, and cloud applications without bottlenecks.
- 1 Gbit/s data rate
- 550-MHz bandwidth
- Reduced crosstalk
Durable Construction
Made with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket material, the cable resists wear, abrasion, and environmental factors, ensuring longevity in both indoor and protected outdoor installations.
- PVC jacket
- Solid copper conductors
- TAA compliant
Deployment / Use Cases
This bulk cable is ideal for structured cabling in offices, data centers, schools, and healthcare facilities where custom-length runs are needed. Its 1000-foot length reduces waste and allows for efficient deployment across large areas.
Common applications include backbone connections between network switches, horizontal cabling to workstations, and infrastructure for IP security systems. The bare wire ends enable termination with various connectors, supporting diverse network topologies and future upgrades.

FAQ
What is the cable length and how is it packaged?
The cable is 1000 feet long, packaged in a bulk pull-box for easy handling and storage. This length is ideal for large-scale installations, reducing the need for multiple splices or connectors and minimizing waste in professional networking projects.
What type of connectors are on the ends of this cable?
Both ends of the cable have bare wire, meaning no connectors are pre-attached. This allows for custom termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or other hardware based on your specific network setup, providing flexibility for structured cabling systems.
Is this cable shielded and what does UTP mean?
This cable is unshielded (UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair), with no additional shielding layers. UTP construction is common for Category 6 cables in most indoor environments, offering reliable performance with simpler installation and lower cost compared to shielded variants.
What is the jacket rating and why is it important?
The jacket is CMP (Communications Plenum) rated, meaning it is flame retardant and low-smoke, designed for use in plenum spaces where air circulates, such as above drop ceilings. This rating ensures compliance with fire safety codes and reduces hazards in commercial buildings.
What is the data transfer rate and suitable applications?
The cable supports a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for gigabit Ethernet networks. It handles applications like high-speed internet, video conferencing, file sharing, and connecting network devices in offices, schools, or data centers without performance issues.
Is this cable TAA compliant and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, indicating it meets sourcing requirements for U.S. government contracts. It is manufactured in Taiwan, ensuring eligibility for federal and institutional purchases where compliance is mandatory for procurement.
