1000ft Cat6 Bulk Cable for Installers

This 1000ft roll of Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair cable is built for custom network installations where exact-length runs are required. It uses 23AWG solid bare copper conductors that meet UL 444 and TIA-568-D.2 fire and safety standards. The CMR riser rating allows vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces. A centre spine helps maintain pair geometry for consistent signal quality.

550MHz bandwidth and 1 Gigabit headroom

The cable is tested to 550MHz, providing ample margin for 1 Gigabit Ethernet over the full 100 metre channel length. At 23AWG the solid conductors keep insertion loss low, so performance holds up on long pulls. The unshielded design means it will not reject external noise as well as shielded alternatives in electrically noisy environments. Installers needing 10 Gigabit over copper should verify the longer reach limits for this category.

Replaces pre-made patch cables and CCA bulk wire

Cutting to length from this pull box eliminates the slack and connector strain that come with fixed-length patch cords. The pure bare copper construction avoids the higher resistance and brittleness of copper-clad aluminium wire that fails code inspection. The rip cord and foot markings speed up stripping and measuring on site. Buyers who need plenum-rated cable for air-handling spaces or outdoor-rated jackets for direct burial cannot use this CMR jacket.
