Built for 10 GbE runs

This Monoprice Cat6A bulk cable delivers 500 feet of 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors in a black F/UTP jacket. It is CMR riser rated and tested to 550 MHz, making it suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in commercial and residential structured wiring projects.

Steps up from Cat6 when bandwidth matters

The shielded construction and 550 MHz rating provide headroom for 10 GBASE-T over the full 100 metre channel where unshielded Cat6 cannot guarantee performance. The upgrade is worth it for new backbone runs, PoE+ deployments or any installation that must meet TIA‑568‑C.2 and UL 444 fire codes without re‑pulling cable later.

Suits installers pulling permanent links

Contractors and IT teams terminating their own patch cords will value the length markings on the reel‑in‑box for quick cut‑to‑length work. It is not for buyers needing pre‑terminated patch cords, outdoor burial rated jacket or a smaller spool for a single desktop drop.

Questions about this item

What conduit or tray space is needed for the 23AWG solid conductors and overall foil shield?

The cable uses 23AWG solid bare copper with an overall foil shield, so allow enough conduit fill for a 500-foot reel of shielded Cat6A; exact diameter is not in the spec sheet.

Which step is most often missed when terminating the foil-shielded pairs?

The drain wire must be bonded to the shielded jack or patch-panel ground lug; skipping this bond leaves the 550MHz shield ineffective against EMI.

How often should the 500-foot reel be inspected after installation for shield continuity?

Verify shield continuity at each termination point during commissioning; the UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 listed jacket is rated for permanent riser runs with no scheduled re-test interval.
