Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat6 cable meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards for Category 6 performance, delivering data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 55 meters and 1 Gbps at the full 100-meter channel length. The 550 MHz bandwidth capacity enhances throughput for bandwidth-intensive applications including 4K video streaming, large file transfers, and real-time collaboration tools.
The solid copper core construction provides superior electrical characteristics compared to copper-clad aluminum alternatives, reducing attenuation and ensuring stable connectivity. The cable is engineered to minimize near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and external electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This bulk Ethernet cable offers several advantages for network installers and IT professionals. The 1000-foot length provides ample cable for large-scale deployments without multiple splices or connections, reducing potential failure points. The CMR fire rating ensures compliance with building codes for riser applications, while the lifetime warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in long-term reliability.
Installation Efficiency
The bulk format allows custom-length cable runs tailored to specific installation requirements, minimizing waste and optimizing cable management in racks, conduits, and cable trays.
- Custom cutting to exact lengths
- Reduces connector points
- Optimizes cable organization
Performance Consistency
Solid copper conductors maintain consistent electrical properties throughout the cable length, ensuring reliable performance for PoE applications and high-speed data transmission.
- Stable impedance characteristics
- Consistent PoE delivery
- Minimized signal degradation
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat6 bulk cable is ideal for structured cabling installations in commercial, educational, and institutional environments. The CMR rating makes it suitable for vertical riser applications between floors, in elevator shafts, and in-wall conduits where fire safety standards require riser-rated cabling.
Common deployment scenarios include enterprise network backbones, data center interconnects, security system installations for IP cameras, and VoIP telephone system wiring. The cable supports both data and power delivery through PoE, enabling simplified installations for devices like wireless access points, network switches, and digital signage displays.
Commercial Building Infrastructure
Install throughout office buildings, schools, and hospitals for reliable network connectivity supporting business applications, video conferencing, and electronic medical records systems.
Security and Surveillance Systems
Connect IP cameras and access control systems with single-cable PoE solutions that reduce installation complexity and power requirements.
Physical Profile
The cable features a gray PVC jacket that provides durability and easy identification in cable bundles. With a total weight of approximately 75 pounds for the 1000-foot roll, the cable requires proper handling equipment for large-scale installations. The bare wire ends allow termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks according to installation requirements and standards.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps at distances up to 55 meters and 1 Gbps at the full 100-meter channel length. The 550 MHz frequency bandwidth ensures sufficient throughput for high-speed network 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 Cat6 cable fully supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors provide adequate current carrying capacity for PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and LED lighting systems. The cable can deliver both data and power over a single connection, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
What does CMR rating mean for this Ethernet cable?
CMR stands for Communications Riser and indicates the cable jacket meets fire safety standards for vertical installations between floors. This rating ensures the cable will not propagate flames between building levels, making it suitable for riser applications in elevator shafts, vertical conduits, and in-wall installations where building codes require riser-rated cabling.
How should I terminate the bare wire ends of this bulk cable?
The bare wire ends require termination with appropriate connectors for your installation. Common termination methods include RJ45 connectors for patch cables, keystone jacks for wall plates, or punch-down blocks for patch panels. Proper termination tools and adherence to T568A or T568B wiring standards ensure optimal performance and reliable connections.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or direct burial installations?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use with a CMR-rated riser jacket. It is not rated for outdoor exposure, direct burial, or wet locations. For outdoor applications, consider cables specifically rated for outdoor use with UV-resistant jackets and moisture protection.
What is the warranty coverage for this bulk Ethernet cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime warranty for this Cat6 bulk cable. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifetime, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in long-term reliability.
