142348 Cat6A bulk cable for installers

This 500-foot reel of yellow Cat6A F/UTP cable is built for professional installers and IT teams wiring commercial spaces. The 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors meet TIA-568-C.2 and UL 444 requirements for permanent links. CMR riser rating allows vertical runs between floors without conduit. The overall foil shield reduces EMI in dense cable trays or near electrical equipment.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive copper cable it generates no heat, produces no noise and draws no power during operation. The foil shield and solid conductors maintain signal integrity up to the rated 550 MHz bandwidth without active components. Performance is stable across the full 100 metre channel distance defined for 10 Gbps Ethernet. No cooling or power budget needs to be allocated for the cable itself.

Build integration needs and freedoms

The reel-in-box packaging includes sequential length markings so you can cut exact drops and track remaining footage without measuring tools. Solid conductors require punch-down terminations on patch panels or keystone jacks rather than stranded-cord plugs. The yellow jacket simplifies colour-coded network segmentation in racks and pathways. Shielded construction adds a grounding requirement at the patch panel to realise the EMI benefit.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 142348 bulk cable and what step do people often miss?

Pull the 500 ft cable from the reel-in-box, cut at the printed length markings, terminate each 23 AWG solid conductor to a Cat6A-rated jack or plug, then verify the foil shield is bonded to the connector ground tab — skipping the shield bond is the common error.

What maintenance or replacement will this Cat6A F/UTP cable need later?

The solid pure bare copper conductors and overall foil shield require no routine maintenance; only re-terminate a link if a connector is damaged or if a tester shows the 550 MHz channel failing insertion-loss or alien-crosstalk limits.

What limit appears first on a 10 Gbps link running continuously over this 500 ft run?

At the full 500 ft length the 550 MHz bandwidth margin and alien-crosstalk headroom become the limiting factors before the 10 GBASE-T distance limit is reached.
