CMPLE Cat6 UTP 23AWG CMR 550 MHz 1000 ft Blue network ethernet cable

What this cable is and who it is for

This bulk Cat6 UTP cable comes in a 1000 ft pull-box and is built for fixed network runs in homes, offices or small business installs. It connects routers, switches, VoIP phones, IP cameras, gaming consoles, PoE devices and other Ethernet equipment. The CMR riser-rated jacket meets code for in-wall and between-floor routing. It is not for buyers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or pre-terminated patch cords for short rack jumps.

The spec that decides fit

The cable uses 23 AWG solid copper-clad aluminium conductors rated to 550 MHz and supports 10 Gbps data rates over the full 1000 ft length. That bandwidth ceiling determines whether the run will carry 10-Gigabit Ethernet or must fall back to Gigabit. Buyers who need guaranteed performance beyond 550 MHz or pure copper conductors for PoE loads over long distances should look elsewhere.

Installation notes and common issues

The easy-pull box with a wide mouth and foot markings lets you measure and pull cable without tangles. Solid 23 AWG wire is stiffer than stranded patch cable, so allow generous bend radius at corners and terminations. The most frequent problem is nicking the thin CCA conductors while stripping; use a quality Cat6 stripper and seat each pair fully in the RJ45 contacts to avoid crosstalk failures.
