FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this Cat6 cable?
This Cat6 cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit per second) across its entire 1000-foot length. It operates with a 550 MHz frequency range, which enhances throughput capacity for high-bandwidth applications such as enterprise networks, data centers, and 4K video streaming.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. It can deliver both data and electrical power over a single cable to PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and lighting systems, simplifying installations in locations without direct power access.
What does CMP/FT6 plenum rating mean for installation?
The CMP/FT6 plenum rating indicates that the cable's jacket is fire-resistant and meets safety standards for use in plenum spaces—areas where air circulates for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, such as above drop ceilings or in ducts. This rating allows installation without conduit in many building codes, reducing material and labor costs.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or direct burial use?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use, specifically in plenum and other air-handling spaces. Its jacket is rated for fire safety in such environments but is not intended for outdoor exposure or direct burial. For outdoor applications, a cable with appropriate weatherproofing and UV resistance would be required.
What type of connectors are included with this bulk cable?
This bulk cable comes with bare wire ends, meaning it does not include pre-attached connectors. This allows for custom termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks to match specific installation needs. It provides flexibility for professional installers to create patch cords or permanent links as required.
Does this cable come with any warranty or certification?
Yes, the cable includes a lifetime limited warranty, ensuring long-term reliability. It is ETL verified, confirming it meets industry performance and safety standards. Additionally, it complies with environmental regulations such as RoHS, REACH, and WEEE, and is TAA compliant for use in government contracts.
