Monoprice Inc. 9482 Cat6 network ethernet cable 1000 ft blue 550 MHz 23 AWG CMP solid bare copper

Solid-conductor Cat6 for permanent runs

This Monoprice 9482 bulk cable supplies 1000 feet of blue Cat6 UTP on a pull-box reel. It uses 23 AWG solid bare copper conductors rated to 550 MHz bandwidth. The CMP plenum rating makes it suitable for in-wall, between-floor and duct installations in commercial buildings. Installers who terminate their own lengths for structured wiring will find the foot-marked jacket convenient.

Pull-box design aids daily installation

The reel-in-a-box format pays out cleanly without tangling during long pulls through conduit or ceiling spaces. Solid conductors hold their shape when punched down onto patch panels or keystone jacks, reducing re-termination effort. Pure bare copper meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 requirements, so the cable passes inspection without the fire-risk concerns that copper-clad aluminium alternatives raise. The unshielded construction keeps the cable flexible enough for tight bends in plenum spaces.

Replaces stranded patch cable in fixed

Builders moving from pre-made patch cords to custom-length runs gain exact-fit cables with no slack coils to manage. The upgrade is worth it when the installation must meet plenum fire codes or when run lengths approach the 100 metre channel limit where solid copper's lower attenuation helps. It is not for buyers who need flexible patch leads for movable equipment or who lack termination tools and prefer factory-crimped assemblies.
