Product Features
Technical Overview
This bulk Cat6a cable meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards for Category 6a performance, guaranteeing 10GBASE-T transmission up to 100 meters. The 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors minimize attenuation and ensure consistent impedance, reducing signal loss and crosstalk. The S/FTP shielding combines a braided outer shield and individual foil wraps for each twisted pair, providing exceptional EMI/RFI immunity and low near-end crosstalk (NEXT).
The cable has an outer diameter of 0.29 inches (7.40 mm) and is terminated with bare wire ends, allowing field termination with RJ45 connectors. The PVC jacket is rated CMR for riser spaces, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors. The cable is also TAA compliant, ensuring it meets U.S. government procurement requirements. With a weight of approximately 40.20 lbs, this spool is substantial for large-scale installations.

Key Product Advantages
The StarTech WIRC6ASPATGR1K bulk cable delivers enterprise-grade performance for demanding network environments. Its 10 Gbps capability future-proofs installations, while the S/FTP shielding ensures reliable operation near power lines or heavy machinery. The solid bare copper conductors provide lower resistance and better signal integrity compared to copper-clad aluminum (CCA) alternatives, making this cable ideal for long-distance runs.
Reliable Signal Quality
23 AWG solid bare copper reduces signal degradation over distance.
- Lower resistance than CCA
- Uniform electrical characteristics
- Consistent 10G performance
Build Quality
Gold-plated connectors (when terminated) resist corrosion; aluminum mylar foil shielding blocks interference.
- Gold-plated connectors
- Corrosion resistant
- Oxidation resistant
Deployment / Use Cases
This bulk Cat6a cable is designed for professional installers and IT departments deploying structured cabling in commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and data centers. The CMR riser rating allows installation in vertical riser shafts, between floors, and in-wall cavities where building codes require flame-retardant jacketing.
Typical use cases include connecting network switches to patch panels, running horizontal cable drops to workstations, and providing backbone connectivity for PoE devices such as wireless access points, security cameras, and VoIP phones. The 1000-foot spool reduces waste and cost for large projects, allowing custom-length cable fabrication with field-terminated RJ45 connectors.
Data Center Cabling
S/FTP shielding minimizes EMI from adjacent power cables and equipment.
- High-density server racks

Physical Profile
This bulk cable spool measures 1000 feet (304.8 meters) in length with an outer diameter of 0.29 inches. The cable weigh approximately 40.20 lbs, reflecting the heavy-duty copper conductors and shielding. The gray PVC jacket provides durability and easy identification in structured cabling environments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 40.20 lb (18234.41 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the difference between S/FTP and UTP cable?
S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) uses a braided outer shield and individual foil wraps for each pair, providing excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) lacks shielding and relies on twist geometry alone. S/FTP is recommended for environments with high electrical noise, such as data centers or industrial settings, while UTP is suitable for typical office installations.
Can this cable be used for PoE+ applications?
Yes, this Cat6a cable supports Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) up to 30 watts per port. The 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors reduce resistance and heat buildup, making it suitable for powering devices like wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones over long distances.
What does CMR riser rating mean?
CMR (Communications Riser) is a fire safety rating for cables installed in vertical riser shafts or between floors. It indicates that the cable meets flame propagation and smoke generation requirements per UL 1666. This cable is suitable for in-wall and riser installations where building codes require fire-resistant jacketing.
Is this cable terminated with connectors?
No, this bulk cable comes with bare wire ends on both sides. It is intended for professional installation where the installer cuts the cable to length and terminates it with field-installable RJ45 connectors or punch-down blocks. This allows custom cable lengths and reduces waste.
What is the maximum distance for 10 Gbps transmission?
Category 6a cabling supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 meters (328 feet) when properly terminated. This cable meets or exceeds ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 standards, ensuring reliable 10 Gbps performance over the full 100-meter channel length.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable has a PVC jacket rated CMR for indoor riser use. It is not rated for direct burial or outdoor exposure. For outdoor installations, a cable with a UV-resistant and water-blocking jacket (e.g., CMX or burial-rated) would be required.
