Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable features 23 AWG solid copper conductors with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation, ensuring stable signal transmission over long distances. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design minimizes crosstalk and interference, meeting Category 6 performance standards for up to 550 MHz bandwidth.
The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) jacket rating indicates suitability for vertical runs between floors, while the PVC material provides durability and flexibility. With a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s, it supports 10/100/1000BASE-T networks, making it a versatile choice for modern infrastructure.
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
The bare wire ends provide maximum termination flexibility, allowing installers to use RJ45 connectors, punch-down tools, or other termination methods as needed. This adaptability streamlines deployments in diverse network environments, from office buildings to data centers.
Bulk Flexibility
Sold in a 1000-foot pull-box, this cable allows for custom-length installations without waste, reducing material costs and enabling precise runs for patch panels and network drops.
Compliance & Safety
CMR-rated and flame-retardant, the cable meets riser application requirements and enhances fire safety in commercial buildings, aligning with industry standards for structured cabling.
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is suited for new construction or retrofit projects where riser-rated cabling is mandated. Its TAA compliance makes it eligible for government and public-sector procurement, while the lifetime warranty ensures long-term reliability in mission-critical networks.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the cable length and how is it packaged?
The cable is 1000 feet (304.80 meters) long and comes in a bulk pull-box. This packaging allows for custom-length cuts, reducing waste and providing flexibility for installations that require specific runs between network devices or patch panels.
What type of connectors are on the ends of this cable?
Both ends of the cable are bare wire, meaning no connectors are pre-attached. This design allows installers to terminate the cable with RJ45 connectors, punch it down into keystone jacks or patch panels, or use other termination methods based on the specific requirements of the network setup.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with no shielding. It relies on twisted pair design to minimize interference, making it suitable for most standard office and commercial environments where heavy electromagnetic interference is not a concern.
What does CMR rating mean for the jacket?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Riser, indicating the jacket is rated for vertical runs between floors in building riser spaces. This rating ensures the cable meets fire safety codes for riser applications, making it compliant for use in multi-story commercial installations.
What is the data transfer rate supported by this Cat6 cable?
The cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, which is standard for Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is compatible with 10/100/1000BASE-T applications, providing reliable high-speed connectivity for modern network infrastructure including switches, routers, and patch panels.
Is this cable TAA compliant and what warranty does it have?
Yes, the cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for procurement in government and public-sector projects. It also comes with a lifetime warranty from Black Box, ensuring long-term performance and reliability in professional networking environments.
