Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable operates at 550 MHz, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and backward compatibility with lower category cables. The solid conductor design minimizes signal loss over the full 1000-foot length, ideal for structured cabling between telecom rooms and work areas. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) jacket rating indicates suitability for vertical runs between floors, with PVC material offering durability and flame-retardant properties.
With 23 AWG wire gauge, the cable maintains electrical characteristics for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications, delivering both data and power to connected devices. The UTP design without shielding simplifies installation while reducing cost, and the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation provides consistent dielectric performance. TAA compliance ensures eligibility for U.S. government procurement, backed by a lifetime limited warranty for long-term reliability.
Key Product Advantages
This bulk cable offers several advantages for network installers and IT managers. The 1000-foot length in a pull-box format streamlines large-scale deployments, reducing waste and simplifying cable pulls through conduits or trays. The solid conductor construction ensures minimal attenuation, supporting reliable high-speed connections across extended distances without signal degradation.
Installation Flexibility
Bare wire ends allow custom termination with RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks, adapting to various patch panel and outlet configurations. This flexibility supports both new installations and upgrades in existing infrastructure.
- Custom termination options
- Compatible with standard connectors
- Easy integration into structured cabling
Compliance and Reliability
CMR jacket rating meets fire safety codes for riser applications, while TAA compliance ensures eligibility for government and educational projects. The lifetime warranty underscores long-term durability and performance consistency.
- CMR fire safety rating
- TAA compliant for procurement
- Lifetime warranty support
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for structured cabling in commercial buildings, data centers, and educational facilities. Its 1000-foot bulk format supports efficient installation in large office spaces, connecting patch panels to network switches across multiple floors. The CMR rating makes it suitable for vertical riser runs, while the UTP design handles typical office environment interference without requiring shielded solutions.
Common applications include backbone connections between telecom rooms, horizontal runs to work area outlets, and infrastructure for VoIP systems, security cameras, and wireless access points. The solid conductors ensure stable performance for PoE devices like IP phones and Wi-Fi access points, delivering both data and power over a single cable. Its gray color blends with standard building aesthetics, and the South Korean origin reflects quality manufacturing standards.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this CAT6 cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks. It operates at 550 MHz bandwidth, ensuring reliable performance for high-speed applications like video streaming, large file transfers, and cloud-based services in commercial environments.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, the 23 AWG solid conductors are designed to minimize voltage drop, making this cable suitable for PoE applications. It can deliver both data and power to devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras over distances up to 100 meters per segment.
What does the CMR jacket rating mean for installation?
CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) indicates the jacket is rated for vertical runs between floors in building riser spaces. It meets fire safety codes for reduced flame spread and smoke generation, making it appropriate for installations in plenums, ducts, and other air-handling areas without requiring conduit in many jurisdictions.
How should the bare wire ends be terminated?
The bare wire ends require termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks based on your installation needs. This allows customization for patch panels, wall outlets, or direct device connections, providing flexibility for structured cabling projects. Use standard crimping or punching tools for reliable connections.
Is this cable TAA compliant, and why does it matter?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets sourcing requirements for U.S. government procurement. This ensures eligibility for contracts with federal agencies, educational institutions, and other entities that mandate TAA compliance, expanding its use in public-sector projects.
What is the warranty coverage for this bulk network cable?
The cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty from Black Box, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifespan. This warranty supports long-term reliability in commercial installations, providing assurance for infrastructure investments without time-based limitations on coverage.
