Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable operates at 400 MHz bandwidth, exceeding the baseline requirements for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction combines an overall aluminum mylar foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs, providing effective interference protection while maintaining flexibility during installation.
The solid copper conductors ensure consistent signal integrity over the full 1000 ft length, with the 24 AWG gauge supporting PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications where needed. The CMP (Communications Plenum) rated PVC jacket meets stringent fire safety standards for use in plenum spaces without requiring conduit, simplifying installation in commercial buildings.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Installation Flexibility
Bare wire ends allow for custom termination with various connector types, and the solid conductor design provides optimal performance for permanent installations where cables won't be frequently moved or flexed.
- Bare Wire Termination
- Solid Conductors
- 1000 ft Bulk Length
Deployment / Use Cases
This CAT6 bulk cable is designed for structured cabling installations in commercial, educational, and institutional environments where reliable network infrastructure is essential. The 1000 ft length provides efficiency for large-scale deployments, reducing the number of splices and connections in extended runs.
Primary applications include backbone cabling between network closets, horizontal runs to workstations in office buildings, and infrastructure for IP security cameras and access control systems. The plenum rating makes it particularly suitable for installations above drop ceilings and in other air-handling spaces where standard riser-rated cables would require conduit.
Commercial Office Networks
Ideal for structured cabling systems in office buildings, supporting Gigabit Ethernet to workstations, conference rooms, and common areas with the reliability needed for business operations.
Educational & Institutional Facilities
Well-suited for schools, libraries, and government buildings where plenum-rated cabling is often required and long cable runs between floors or wings are common.
Physical Profile
This cable features a durable red PVC jacket that provides both visual identification and physical protection. The bright color simplifies cable management and troubleshooting in complex installations. With an approximate weight of 36 lb (16.33 kg) for the full 1000 ft spool, the cable balances substantial length with manageable handling during installation.

FAQ
What type of shielding does this CAT6 cable have?
This cable features F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) shielding. It has an overall aluminum mylar foil shield that surrounds all four twisted pairs, providing protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) while the individual pairs remain unshielded for flexibility during installation.
Can this cable be used in plenum spaces without conduit?
Yes, this cable has a CMP (Communications Plenum) rated jacket that meets strict fire safety standards for use in air-handling spaces such as above drop ceilings and in raised floors. The plenum rating allows installation without conduit in most jurisdictions, though local building codes should always be verified before installation.
What is the advantage of solid conductors versus stranded conductors?
Solid conductors, like those in this cable, provide better electrical performance over longer distances and are more durable for permanent installations where the cable won't be frequently moved or flexed. They maintain consistent signal integrity throughout the 1000 ft length, making them ideal for structured cabling in buildings versus patch cables that use stranded conductors for flexibility.
What termination options are available with the bare wire ends?
The bare wire ends allow for custom termination with various connector types, most commonly RJ45 connectors for Ethernet networks. This flexibility enables installers to choose the specific connector type needed for their application, whether standard RJ45 plugs, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks, providing adaptability for different installation scenarios.
Is this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, the 24 AWG solid copper conductors in this CAT6 cable can support Power over Ethernet applications. The cable's construction and gauge are appropriate for delivering both data and power to devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, though specific PoE requirements should be verified against the equipment specifications.
What certifications and compliance standards does this cable meet?
This cable is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it's manufactured without certain hazardous materials. It's also TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it suitable for U.S. government procurement. The cable meets Category 6 performance standards for 1 Gbit/s data transfer at 400 MHz bandwidth and carries a lifetime limited warranty from Black Box.
