Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable operates at 400 MHz, supporting data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s for efficient network performance. The 24 AWG solid copper conductors provide reliable electrical characteristics, while the F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) shielding combines aluminum mylar foil with overall protection to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
Key technical features include Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) protection, which reduces signal degradation between adjacent pairs, and noise protection mechanisms that maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The cable's construction uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE) insulation and a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket for durability and flexibility during installation.

FAQ
What is the difference between this solid bulk cable and pre-terminated patch cables?
This is a solid conductor bulk cable designed for permanent structured cabling installations where custom lengths are needed. Unlike pre-terminated patch cables with factory-installed connectors, this cable has bare wire ends that you terminate with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or patch panels to create precisely sized network runs. Solid conductors provide better electrical performance over distance but are less flexible than stranded conductors used in patch cables.
Can this CAT6 cable be installed in plenum spaces?
Yes, this cable features a CMP (Communications Plenum) rated jacket that meets strict fire safety codes for installation in air handling spaces such as above drop ceilings and in HVAC ducts. The plenum-rated material produces less smoke and is more flame retardant than standard PVC jackets, making it compliant with building codes for commercial installations where cables run through environmental air spaces.
What does F/UTP shielding provide for network performance?
F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) shielding combines an overall foil shield around all four twisted pairs with individual unshielded pairs. This configuration protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from external sources like fluorescent lights, motors, or other cables. The shielding maintains signal integrity, reduces crosstalk, and ensures consistent Gigabit Ethernet performance, especially in electrically noisy environments.
What applications is this 1000-foot bulk cable best suited for?
This bulk cable is ideal for structured cabling installations requiring custom lengths, including new office construction, network expansions, data center backbones, and educational facility upgrades. The 1000-foot spool provides ample cable for multiple runs between network closets and work areas. It supports voice, data, and video applications across enterprise environments where reliable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is essential for business operations.
Does this cable meet government procurement requirements?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets the sourcing requirements for U.S. government purchases. Additionally, it is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials in manufacturing. The cable is manufactured in Taiwan and meets international environmental standards, making it suitable for both commercial and government installations where regulatory compliance is required.
What termination options are available with the bare wire ends?
The bare wire ends allow for termination with standard RJ45 connectors using crimping tools, keystone jacks for wall plates and patch panels, or direct termination into punch-down blocks. This flexibility enables network installers to create custom-length cables precisely sized for each installation run. The solid 24 AWG conductors maintain proper electrical characteristics when terminated, ensuring reliable connectivity for Gigabit Ethernet applications.
