Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 cable operates at 550 MHz frequency, delivering enhanced bandwidth for demanding network applications. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design provides effective noise rejection while maintaining flexibility for installation in various environments. With bare wire ends, this bulk cable allows for custom termination to meet specific connector requirements during installation.
The cable's construction includes flame-retardant materials that meet CMP (Communications Plenum) standards, ensuring safety in plenum spaces where air circulation occurs. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors maintain signal integrity across the full 1000-foot length, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols.
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 delivers reliable network performance with several distinct advantages for infrastructure deployments. The combination of Category 6 specifications and robust construction ensures consistent operation across diverse connectivity requirements.
Plenum-Rated Safety
The CMP-rated jacket meets fire safety standards for installation in plenum spaces, providing enhanced protection in air handling areas where cable runs through ceilings or raised floors.
- Flame-retardant PVC construction
- Complies with plenum space requirements
- Reduces fire hazard in air circulation areas
Installation Flexibility
With bare wire ends and 1000-foot length, this bulk cable offers maximum flexibility for custom installations, allowing termination with various connectors to match specific network equipment requirements.
- Custom termination options
- Long-length spool for large installations
- Solid conductors for punch-down compatibility
Deployment / Use Cases
This CAT6 bulk cable is engineered for structured cabling systems in commercial buildings, data centers, educational facilities, and office environments. The 1000-foot length makes it particularly suitable for large-scale installations where multiple cable runs are required between network closets and work areas.
Typical applications include backbone cabling between network switches, horizontal runs to workstations, infrastructure for VoIP systems, and connectivity for security cameras or access control systems. The plenum rating allows installation in air handling spaces without conduit, reducing installation time and material costs while maintaining compliance with building codes.
Enterprise Network Infrastructure
Deploy as backbone cabling between network distribution frames or as horizontal cabling to connect workstations and devices throughout commercial facilities.
Data Center Connectivity
Use for server-to-switch connections or within rack environments where reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance is required for data-intensive applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this CAT6 cable?
This Black Box CAT6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet networks and other high-speed applications. The Category 6 specification ensures reliable performance for demanding network environments.
Can this cable be installed in plenum spaces without conduit?
Yes, this cable features a CMP (Communications Plenum) rated jacket that meets fire safety standards for installation in plenum spaces without additional conduit. The flame-retardant construction allows direct installation in air handling areas such as ceilings and raised floors.
What type of connectors are included with this bulk cable?
This bulk cable comes with bare wire ends, meaning no pre-attached connectors are included. This allows for custom termination with RJ45 connectors, punch-down blocks, or other termination methods based on your specific installation requirements and equipment compatibility.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installations?
This cable is designed for indoor use with a CMP plenum-rated jacket. While it provides excellent performance for indoor structured cabling systems, it is not rated for direct outdoor exposure or burial applications. For outdoor installations, consider cables specifically designed with weather-resistant jackets.
What does the 23 AWG specification mean for this network cable?
The 23 AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification indicates the thickness of the copper conductors within the cable. 23 AWG represents a standard thickness for Category 6 cables that provides optimal balance between signal integrity and flexibility, ensuring reliable data transmission across the full 1000-foot length.
Is this cable TAA compliant and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, meaning it meets sourcing requirements for U.S. government procurement and certain educational institutions. TAA compliance ensures the product is manufactured in designated countries that have trade agreements with the United States.
