Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable operates at 550 MHz, delivering stable performance for Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors maintain signal integrity over the full 1000-foot length, reducing attenuation and crosstalk for consistent data flow.
The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design simplifies installation while meeting industry standards. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation protects the conductors, and the CMR-rated PVC jacket offers riser-rated flame resistance for vertical runs between floors.
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 bulk cable provides a cost-effective solution for large-scale network deployments, offering flexibility and reliability in structured cabling systems.
Flame-Retardant Safety
The flame-retardant construction and CMR jacket rating enhance fire safety, making this cable suitable for riser applications in commercial buildings where code compliance is critical.
- CMR-rated PVC jacket
- Flame-retardant materials
- Meets safety standards
Custom Termination Flexibility
Bare wire ends allow installers to terminate with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks, providing adaptability for various patch panel and network device configurations.
- Bare wire on both ends
- Compatible with standard termination tools
- Supports patch panels and network devices
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for new network installations, expansions, or upgrades in office buildings, data centers, schools, and healthcare facilities. The bulk format supports efficient pulling through conduits and cable trays.
Common applications include backbone cabling between network closets, horizontal runs to workstations, and infrastructure for VoIP systems, security cameras, and wireless access points. The TAA compliance ensures suitability for government and institutional projects requiring domestic sourcing.
Structured Cabling Systems
Use this cable for permanent installations in walls, ceilings, and conduits where solid core conductors provide better performance over distance compared to stranded patch cables.
Patch Panel Infrastructure
Terminate the bare wire ends directly into patch panels or keystone jacks to create custom-length connections for server racks, network switches, and telecommunications equipment.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate of this CAT6 cable?
This Black Box CAT6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The 550 MHz frequency rating ensures stable performance for high-speed applications in commercial and enterprise environments.
Can this cable be used for patch panel installations?
Yes, this cable is designed for patch panel and network device installations. The bare wire ends allow for termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or direct punch-down into patch panels, providing flexibility for structured cabling systems.
What does CMR jacket rating mean for this cable?
CMR stands for Communications Riser, indicating the jacket is rated for vertical runs between floors in riser spaces. This flame-retardant PVC jacket meets safety standards for commercial building installations where fire resistance is required.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with no additional shielding. The twisted pair design reduces crosstalk and interference, making it suitable for most indoor network installations without extreme electromagnetic interference.
What is the advantage of solid core conductors in this cable?
Solid core conductors provide better electrical performance over distance compared to stranded cables, reducing signal attenuation. This makes them ideal for permanent installations in walls, ceilings, and conduits where the cable won't be frequently moved.
Does this cable meet TAA compliance requirements?
Yes, this Black Box cable is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements for government and institutional procurement in the United States. This ensures the cable is manufactured in a designated country, making it suitable for federal contracts and projects.
