Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s across its 1000-foot length, utilizing 24 AWG stranded copper conductors arranged in four twisted pairs. The stranded design offers superior flexibility compared to solid-core cables, making it easier to route through conduits and around corners without compromising signal integrity.
The cable features Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction, which provides effective noise rejection through precise pair twisting rather than foil or braid shielding. This approach maintains compatibility with standard Ethernet installations while keeping the cable diameter manageable for high-density cable management.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Deployment / Use Cases
This bulk Cat6 cable is ideal for network professionals installing or expanding wired infrastructure in commercial settings. The 1000-foot length and CM rating make it particularly suitable for structured cabling systems where cables run through walls, ceilings, or conduit between telecommunications rooms and work areas.
Common applications include creating custom-length patch cables for server racks, establishing backbone connections between network switches, wiring new office construction, upgrading existing Cat5e infrastructure to Cat6 standards, and supporting PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices where reliable power and data delivery are essential.
Commercial Infrastructure
Deploy in offices, schools, hospitals, and retail environments where reliable network connectivity supports business operations, with CM rating ensuring code compliance for permanent installations.
Data Center and Server Room
Use for rack-to-rack connections, switch uplinks, or server connections where custom cable lengths optimize cable management and airflow in high-density environments.
Physical Profile
The cable features a gray PVC jacket that provides both visual consistency in installations and durable protection against physical wear. The CM rating indicates the jacket material meets specific flame-retardant standards for in-wall use, providing an additional safety layer in commercial buildings. At 29.30 pounds for the full 1000-foot spool, the cable offers substantial length while remaining manageable for installation teams working with standard cable reels or dispensing equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed this Cat6 cable supports?
This Cat6 Ethernet cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit per second), which is the standard performance level for Category 6 cabling. It maintains this speed across the entire 1000-foot length when properly terminated and installed, making it suitable for modern network equipment requiring reliable high-speed connectivity.
Can this cable be installed inside walls?
Yes, this cable features a CM-rated jacket that meets electrical code requirements for in-wall installation. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates the jacket material has appropriate flame-retardant properties for placement in walls, ceilings, and other building spaces where cable may be concealed as part of a structured cabling system.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
This bulk cable comes with bare-wire ends on both sides, meaning it has no pre-attached connectors. This design allows network installers to terminate the cable with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks to create custom-length patch cables exactly matching their specific installation requirements and connector preferences.
What is the difference between stranded and solid conductor cables?
This cable uses stranded conductors, which consist of multiple smaller wires twisted together. Stranded cables offer greater flexibility and resistance to breakage from repeated bending compared to solid-core cables, making them easier to route through conduits and around corners. While solid-core cables may have slightly better performance over very long distances, stranded cables like this one provide the ideal balance of performance and installation flexibility for most commercial applications.
What does UTP mean for this Ethernet cable?
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair, which describes this cable's construction. Unlike shielded cables that use foil or braid around the pairs, UTP cables rely on precise twisting of the copper pairs to cancel electromagnetic interference. This construction maintains compatibility with standard network equipment while keeping the cable diameter smaller and more flexible, making it easier to install in conduit and cable management systems.
What warranty comes with this StarTech.com cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for this Cat6 Ethernet cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term assurance of quality and reliability for network infrastructure investments. The warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's construction and performance in commercial installation environments.
