Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT6 cable adheres to TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standards, supporting data transmission speeds up to 1 Gbps over 100 meters and frequencies up to 250 MHz. The solid copper conductors ensure consistent signal integrity and lower attenuation compared to stranded alternatives, which is critical for long-distance runs in permanent installations.
The 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, while the CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) jacket rating indicates compliance with fire safety codes for vertical installations. The cable's design minimizes impedance and structural return loss, enhancing network reliability.
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.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the difference between solid and stranded CAT6 cable?
Solid CAT6 cable, like this Tripp Lite N222-01K-BL, uses a single solid copper conductor per wire, which offers better electrical performance over longer distances and is ideal for permanent installations in walls, ceilings, or conduits. Stranded cable uses multiple thin wires twisted together, making it more flexible for patch cords but with slightly higher attenuation over long runs.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this CAT6 cable supports PoE applications, including PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ standards. The solid copper conductors efficiently deliver both data and power up to 100 meters, making it suitable for devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that require power over the Ethernet connection.
What does CMR rating mean for this cable?
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Riser, indicating the cable's jacket is fire-resistant and suitable for vertical runs between floors in building riser spaces. This rating ensures compliance with fire safety codes, reducing flame spread and smoke emission, which is essential for installations in multi-story commercial or institutional buildings.
How do I terminate the bare wire ends of this bulk cable?
The bare wire ends can be terminated using standard CAT6 RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or punch-down blocks. For RJ45 connectors, you'll need a crimping tool and connectors designed for solid cable. For structured cabling, punch-down termination onto patch panels or wall plates is common, requiring a punch-down tool. Always follow TIA/EIA-568 wiring standards for reliable connections.
Is this cable TAA compliant, and why is that important?
Yes, this cable is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the Trade Agreements Act requirements for procurement by U.S. federal government agencies. TAA compliance ensures the product is manufactured or substantially transformed in a designated country, making it eligible for government contracts and institutional purchases where such regulations apply.
What is the warranty on this Tripp Lite CAT6 bulk cable?
This cable comes with a lifetime warranty from Tripp Lite, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifespan. This warranty provides long-term assurance of quality and reliability, supporting its use in critical network infrastructure where downtime must be minimized.
