FAQ
What is the length of this Cat6 bulk cable?
This Black Box cable is 1000 feet long, equivalent to 304.80 meters. This substantial length makes it suitable for large-scale network installations, such as wiring entire floors or data centers, without needing multiple spools or splices.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
Both ends of the cable are bare wire, meaning no connectors are pre-attached. This allows for custom termination with RJ45 connectors, punch-down blocks, or other interfaces to match specific patch panels or network devices, providing flexibility in installation.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with no shielding. UTP cables are commonly used in environments without high electromagnetic interference, offering a cost-effective solution for most office and commercial network applications while maintaining reliable performance.
What does CMR rating mean for the jacket?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Riser, indicating the jacket is flame-retardant and suitable for vertical runs between floors in buildings. This rating ensures compliance with fire safety codes, making the cable appropriate for riser applications in commercial installations.
What is the data transfer rate supported by this cable?
The cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, which is standard for Gigabit Ethernet. With a bandwidth of 550 MHz, it handles high-speed network traffic efficiently and is backward compatible with Cat5e systems for seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
Is this cable TAA compliant?
Yes, this cable is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements for U.S. government procurement. This ensures it is manufactured in a designated country, making it suitable for use in federal contracts and projects that mandate compliance.
