Monoprice 141357 Cat6 1000ft Black CMR UTP 23AWG 550MHz Solid Copper Reelex II Pull Box network ethernet cable

1000-foot Cat6 bulk cable for custom installs

This 304.8 metre reel supplies solid 23 AWG pure copper conductors in a CMR-rated jacket. Installers cut exact lengths and terminate with standard RJ45 plugs for structured wiring projects. The Reelex II pull box pays out smoothly without kinks or tangles.

UTP design limited to 1 Gigabit at 550 MHz bandwidth

Unshielded twisted pair construction meets TIA-568-D Category 6 electricals but cannot carry 10 Gigabit Ethernet beyond short links. The 550 MHz sweep exceeds the 250 MHz minimum, yet alien crosstalk restricts 10G operation to distances well under the 100 metre channel limit. Riser rating permits vertical runs between floors but not plenum spaces.

Replaces Cat5e when 1 Gigabit headroom is needed

Builders who specify 100 MHz Class D cabling gain margin by stepping to this 550 MHz verified reel. The upgrade is worth it when future re-termination to higher speeds is unlikely and riser fire rating satisfies code. Buyers who need guaranteed 10 Gigabit over full 100 metre channels should select shielded Category 6A or Category 8 instead.
