Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable operates at a 550-MHz frequency, exceeding the baseline 250-MHz requirement for Category 6, which enhances signal integrity and reduces crosstalk in demanding network setups. It supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, suitable for modern Ethernet applications including VoIP, video streaming, and data-intensive tasks.
The cable features bare wire ends on both sides, allowing for custom termination with RJ45 connectors or direct punch-down into patch panels and keystone jacks. Its CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) jacket rating indicates compliance with fire safety codes for riser spaces, while the PVC material offers flexibility and resistance to environmental stressors.
Key Product Advantages

User Manual
FAQ
What is the cable length and type of this Black Box bulk cable?
This is a 1000-foot (304.80 meters) Category 6 bulk cable. It operates at a 550-MHz bandwidth, exceeding standard CAT6 requirements, and supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s for reliable Ethernet connectivity in professional network installations.
What connectors are on the ends of this cable?
Both ends of the cable are bare wire, meaning no connectors are pre-attached. This allows for custom termination with RJ45 connectors, punch-down into patch panels, or other connectors based on your specific installation needs, providing flexibility for structured cabling projects.
Is this cable shielded, and what is its jacket rating?
This cable is unshielded (UTP) with no shielding, which is common for many indoor network applications. It features a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) rated PVC jacket, making it flame-retardant and suitable for vertical riser runs between floors in buildings.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
It is designed for use with patch panels and network devices such as switches, routers, and servers. The bare wire ends allow it to be terminated for various Ethernet applications, including VoIP systems, security cameras, and wireless access points in commercial environments.
What is the warranty and compliance status of this cable?
This cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty, ensuring long-term reliability. It is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for government and institutional procurement, and is manufactured in South Korea with high-quality materials like HDPE insulation and PVC jacket.
Can this cable be used for outdoor or plenum installations?
This cable is rated CMR for riser applications, meaning it is designed for indoor vertical runs between floors and is not intended for outdoor use or plenum spaces. For plenum installations, a CMP-rated cable would be required to meet stricter fire safety codes.
