Black Box Corporation EYN877B-PB-1000 network ethernet cable 1000 ft Gray

1000 ft Cat 6 bulk cable

This 1000-foot Category 6 bulk cable is designed for installers and network builders who need long runs of unshielded twisted-pair wiring. Both ends are bare wire so the installer terminates each run with the keystone jacks or plugs the project requires. The grey jacket is flame-retardant and meets RoHS and WEEE environmental standards. It suits new structured-cabling installations in offices, schools or data-centre patching zones.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive copper cable the product generates no heat, produces no audible noise and draws no electrical power during normal operation. Its only thermal consideration is the ambient temperature rating of the jacket material, which is covered by the flame-retardant specification. Installers can route it through plenum or riser spaces without adding load to cooling systems. Power budgeting for attached network equipment remains unchanged by the cable itself.

Build quality and connector implications

The bare-wire ends mean every drop must be punched down or crimped on site, giving full control over termination quality but requiring tools and skill. Grey colour coding helps identify Cat 6 runs alongside other services in crowded trays. Flame-retardant jacket material supports compliance with building fire codes for in-wall or ceiling routing. Lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer covers defects in materials and workmanship for the installed life of the cable.
