Monoprice 118601 Cat6A Ethernet Bulk Cable 1000 Feet White 23AWG 650MHz

Cable purpose and installer profile

Monoprice 118601 is a 1000-foot Cat6A bulk cable built for structured wiring in commercial and residential projects. Installers pull it through riser spaces to create permanent 10GBase-T links. The solid 23AWG pure bare copper conductors meet CMR fire-safety requirements for vertical runs between floors. It is not suited for patch-cord assemblies or tight-radius patch-panel work where stranded conductors are required.

Thermal noise and power behaviour

As a passive copper medium the cable generates no heat, emits no acoustic noise and draws no electrical power during data transmission. Its 650MHz bandwidth supports 10Gbps signalling without active components. The CMR-rated PVC jacket maintains mechanical integrity in riser pathways where plenum rating is not mandated. No external power supply or cooling is involved.

Deciding specification for the project

The 650MHz bandwidth and 10GBase-T compliance determine whether this reel satisfies the link budget for 10Gbps Ethernet over 100 metres. Exceeding ANSI TIA/EIA 568-C.2 and carrying UL listing with RoHS compliance confirms code acceptance for riser installations. Projects requiring plenum-rated jacket, outdoor burial rating or stranded conductors for flexible patching must select a different cable type.
