Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 6 specifications, this cable ensures reliable performance for Ethernet networks. It features four twisted pairs (eight conductors) of 24 AWG stranded copper wire, providing flexibility and durability for repeated handling. The Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) design reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity over its full length.
The CM-rated PVC jacket is specifically approved for in-wall use, offering fire resistance and compliance with building codes for riser and plenum spaces where required. This makes it a versatile choice for both exposed and concealed installations. The cable is terminated with bare wire ends, allowing for custom connectorization with RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks to match your network setup.
Key Product Advantages
This bulk Cat6 cable delivers essential benefits for network professionals and installers. Its long 1000-foot length reduces the need for multiple spools or splices in large deployments, while the stranded design offers superior flexibility compared to solid core cables, making it easier to route and terminate.
In-Wall Compliance
The CM-rated jacket meets safety standards for in-wall installations, providing peace of mind for permanent network runs in commercial or residential settings.
- Fire-resistant PVC material
- Suitable for riser and plenum spaces
- Complies with building codes
Customization Flexibility
Bare wire ends allow for precise connectorization, enabling custom cable lengths and terminations tailored to specific network layouts and equipment.
- Cut to exact lengths
- Terminate with RJ45 plugs or keystones

Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for a wide range of networking scenarios. It serves as a cost-effective solution for installing new network infrastructure in offices, schools, or healthcare facilities, where long cable runs and in-wall compliance are critical. The bulk format is particularly useful for data center cable management, allowing for neat, organized patching between switches, servers, and patch panels.
For residential applications, it supports home network upgrades, such as connecting routers to distant rooms or setting up media centers with high-speed internet. The blue color aids in system identification, making it easier to trace cables during troubleshooting or future expansions. Its environmental certifications, including EU RoHS compliance, ensure it meets regulatory standards for safe use.
Office Network Expansion
Deploy this cable to extend network connectivity across multiple floors or buildings, ensuring reliable Gigabit speeds for workstations and VoIP systems.
Data Center Patching
Use the bulk spool to create custom-length patch cables for server racks, reducing clutter and improving airflow in high-density environments.
Physical Profile
The cable features a durable blue PVC jacket that provides protection against physical wear and environmental factors. With an approximate weight of 29.30 pounds, the 1000-foot spool is manageable for transport and storage, while the stranded construction ensures the cable remains pliable during installation. The bare wire ends require proper termination tools, but this design allows for precise customization to fit any network layout.

FAQ
What is the maximum length for reliable Gigabit performance with this Cat6 cable?
This Cat6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet up to its full 1000-foot length, adhering to the standard 100-meter limit for Ethernet cables. The stranded construction and UTP design maintain signal integrity, ensuring consistent 1 Gbit/s speeds for network installations without signal degradation over distance.
Can this cable be used for in-wall installations?
Yes, the cable features a CM-rated PVC jacket that is approved for in-wall use. This rating indicates compliance with fire safety standards for riser and plenum spaces, making it suitable for permanent network runs in commercial or residential buildings where concealed cabling is required.
What type of connectors are needed for this bulk cable?
The cable comes with bare wire ends, so you will need to terminate it with RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks using a crimping tool. This allows for custom cable lengths and connector types, providing flexibility to match your specific network equipment and layout requirements.
How does the stranded construction benefit network installations?
Stranded construction offers greater flexibility compared to solid core cables, making it easier to route around corners and through tight spaces. It is more resistant to breakage from repeated bending, which is ideal for patch cables and installations where cables may be moved or adjusted frequently.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use. The CM-rated jacket is intended for in-wall or exposed indoor installations. For outdoor applications, a cable with additional weatherproofing and UV protection would be required to withstand environmental elements.
What environmental certifications does this cable have?
This cable is EU RoHS compliant, meaning it restricts hazardous substances like lead and mercury. It also meets REACH and WEEE directives, ensuring environmentally responsible manufacturing and disposal. These certifications make it a safe choice for use in regulated environments.
