1000 ft bulk Cat6a cable

This shielded Cat6a bulk cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over a 1000 ft length. The solid 23 AWG copper conductors are CMR rated for riser installation in walls, between floors or elevator shafts. Blue jacket colour aids identification in structured cabling projects. It is suited for installers and IT teams building permanent infrastructure.

Shielded construction for EMI protection

The foil shielding blocks electromagnetic and radio frequency interference to maintain signal integrity on 10 Gigabit links. CMR fire rating meets code requirements for vertical runs without conduit. Solid conductors reduce attenuation over long distances compared with stranded patch cables. Each reel is tested to support high speed data transmission.

Replaces Cat5e or Cat6 permanent links

This cable upgrades existing Cat5e or Cat6 horizontal runs when 10 Gigabit throughput is required. The jump is worth it when current cabling limits bandwidth or suffers interference in dense electrical environments. It is not for buyers who need pre terminated patch leads or stranded cable for frequent moves.

Questions about this item

How do you terminate this solid 23 AWG Cat6a cable onto keystone jacks or a patch panel, and what step causes most problems?

Strip the jacket carefully, keep each twisted pair intact right up to the IDC slots, and use a punch-down tool rated for 23 AWG solid copper; the frequent error is untwisting the pairs too far before seating them, which increases crosstalk and can cause the link to fail certification.

What maintenance or replacement will this bulk cable need after it is installed in walls or riser spaces?

The cable itself is passive and requires no scheduled maintenance; replacement is only necessary if physical damage occurs — such as crushing, water ingress, or a fire event that compromises the CMR-rated jacket — or if a future network upgrade demands a higher category than Cat6a.

What is the first performance limit you hit when running 10 Gigabit traffic over the full 1000 ft length of this cable?

The 1000 ft (305 m) reel exceeds the 100 m maximum channel length defined for 10GBASE-T over Cat6a, so signal attenuation and alien crosstalk will degrade the link before any other factor; the practical limit is the 100 m distance ceiling, not the cable bandwidth.
