Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards, ensuring reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and backward compatibility with Cat5e networks. The stranded 24 AWG conductors offer flexibility for installations requiring frequent movement or routing around corners, while maintaining signal integrity over the full 1000 ft length.
The CM-rated jacket is suitable for in-wall placement in commercial buildings, providing fire resistance and durability. The bare wire ends give installers full control over termination, allowing for custom connector types or direct punch-down into patch panels. The cable's construction minimizes crosstalk and interference for stable data transmission.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This bulk Cat6 cable combines installation flexibility with professional-grade performance. The 1000 ft length supports large-scale deployments without multiple splices, while the CM-rated jacket ensures compliance with in-wall safety standards.
Custom Termination Ready
Bare wire ends allow for RJ45, keystone, or direct punch-down termination to match your specific networking hardware and configuration requirements.
- No pre-attached connectors
- Compatible with standard crimping tools
- Supports various termination styles
Color-Coding & Identification
The green jacket enables easy visual identification in multi-cable runs, simplifying cable management, troubleshooting, and maintenance in complex installations.
- Distinct color for organization
- Reduces installation errors
- Enhances rack and pathway clarity
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for structured cabling projects where custom lengths and terminations are needed. Its CM rating makes it suitable for in-wall installation in offices, schools, hospitals, and retail spaces, providing a neat, professional appearance while meeting building code requirements.
Common applications include backbone connections between network switches, patch panel terminations, and horizontal runs to workstations. The 1000 ft bulk spool minimizes waste on large jobs and allows for consistent cable runs throughout a facility. It's also used in data centers for overhead tray routing and under-floor installations where flexibility and durability are critical.
Office Network Infrastructure
Deploy for wall jack installations, patch panel connections, and switch-to-switch links in commercial office environments requiring reliable Gigabit Ethernet.
Data Center & Server Room
Use for rack-to-rack connectivity, server connections, and storage area networks where custom cable lengths and bare wire termination provide installation precision.
Physical Profile
The cable features a durable green PVC jacket that provides protection against physical wear and environmental factors. The stranded construction offers greater flexibility compared to solid core cables, making it easier to route through conduits, around corners, and in tight spaces. The CM rating indicates suitability for installation in walls, ceilings, and other plenum spaces in commercial buildings.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum length for reliable Gigabit Ethernet with this Cat6 cable?
This Cat6 cable supports the standard 100-meter (328 ft) maximum length for Gigabit Ethernet per TIA/EIA specifications. The 1000 ft bulk spool allows for multiple shorter runs or a few longer runs within this limit, making it ideal for large installations where custom lengths are cut from the spool.
Can this cable be used for in-wall installation?
Yes, the cable is CM-rated (Communications Multipurpose), which indicates it is suitable for in-wall installation in commercial buildings. The jacket meets fire safety standards for vertical runs through walls and ceilings, providing a code-compliant solution for structured cabling projects.
What tools are needed to terminate the bare wire ends?
To terminate the bare wire ends, you will need RJ45 connectors, a crimping tool, and optionally a cable stripper and tester. The stranded 24 AWG conductors are compatible with standard RJ45 crimping tools, allowing for custom connector installation to match your network equipment.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use. The CM-rated jacket is intended for in-wall installation in commercial indoor environments. For outdoor applications, a cable with additional weatherproofing and UV protection would be required.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. If the cable fails under normal use conditions, StarTech.com will replace it. This warranty provides long-term assurance for infrastructure investments in networking projects.
How does the green color help with cable management?
The green jacket allows for visual identification in multi-cable installations, making it easier to trace specific runs, organize cables by function or location, and reduce errors during installation or maintenance. This is particularly useful in data centers, server rooms, and office networks with complex cabling.
