Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat 6 cable delivers 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates over distances up to 55 meters in 10GBASE-T applications, with 1 Gbit/s performance extending to the full 100-meter channel limit. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide superior electrical conductivity and mechanical stability compared to stranded alternatives, reducing insertion loss and ensuring consistent performance in permanent installations.
The cable's 550 MHz bandwidth capacity enhances throughput for high-demand applications including 4K video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time collaboration tools. UTP construction with precise twist ratios minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The CMR-rated PVC jacket meets UL 1666 standards for riser applications, containing flame spread between building floors.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat 6 cable?
This StarTech.com Cat 6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s for 10GBASE-T Ethernet networks. It maintains this speed for distances up to 55 meters, while supporting 1 Gbit/s transfers across the full 100-meter channel length. The 550 MHz frequency range ensures sufficient bandwidth for high-throughput applications including video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time collaboration tools.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this Cat 6 cable fully supports Power over Ethernet applications. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide adequate current-carrying capacity for PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and LED lighting. The UTP construction ensures reliable power delivery alongside data transmission without interference issues.
What does CMR rating mean for this Ethernet cable?
CMR stands for Communications Riser, indicating this cable meets UL 1666 standards for vertical riser applications. The CMR-rated PVC jacket limits flame propagation between building floors, making it suitable for installation in elevator shafts, between-floor conduits, and other vertical spaces where fire safety regulations require riser-rated cabling. This rating is essential for commercial building codes and institutional safety standards.
How should I terminate the bare wire ends of this bulk cable?
The bare wire ends require termination with appropriate connectors for your installation. Most installers use RJ45 connectors for patch cords, keystone jacks for wall plates, or punch-down blocks for patch panels. Follow T568A or T568B wiring standards, maintain proper twist ratios up to the termination point, and use quality crimping tools. The solid conductors provide excellent connectivity when properly terminated for permanent installations.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or direct burial installations?
No, this cable is designed for indoor riser applications only. The CMR-rated PVC jacket provides fire safety for vertical runs but isn't rated for outdoor exposure, direct burial, or wet locations. For outdoor installations, you would need a cable with CMX or direct burial rating and additional weatherproofing. This cable is ideal for in-wall, between-floor, and ceiling installations within climate-controlled buildings.
What environmental certifications does this cable carry?
This cable complies with multiple environmental standards including EU RoHS, RoHS 2, REACH, and WEEE directives. These certifications ensure restricted hazardous substances are minimized, chemicals are properly registered and evaluated, and end-of-life disposal follows proper recycling protocols. The TAA compliance also makes this cable eligible for government and educational procurement where Trade Agreements Act requirements apply.
