Monoprice 109483 Cat6 bulk cable 1000 ft gray CMP solid 550 MHz 23 AWG

1000-foot CMP plenum Cat6 bulk cable

This 1000 ft roll of gray Cat6 bulk cable uses solid 23 AWG bare copper conductors and is rated for 550 MHz bandwidth. It carries a CMP plenum fire rating, making it suitable for in-wall, between-floor and duct installations in commercial buildings. The cable is unshielded UTP and meets UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C.2 requirements for pure copper construction.

Installers running permanent structured wiring

The solid conductors and plenum rating suit installers pulling permanent horizontal runs through walls, ceilings and plenum spaces where fire code requires CMP cable. Buyers who need flexible patch cords for movable equipment or who require shielded cable for high-EMI environments should look at something else.

550 MHz bandwidth over solid 23 AWG copper

The 550 MHz rating on solid 23 AWG bare copper determines the maximum frequency performance available for Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet over the installed length. This single specification confirms whether the cable meets the channel bandwidth required for the intended network speed.
