What customers say
Customers highly value this Monoprice Cat6 cable for its exceptional quality and unbeatable value, making it a top choice for networking projects. The pure bare copper construction ensures reliable data transmission and strong Power over Ethernet performance, clearly outperforming CCA alternatives. Reviewers confirm excellent speed capabilities, easily handling gigabit connections. A key point noted is the stranded wire design, which offers superior flexibility ideal for patch cables. While this flexibility can make termination into standard jacks slightly trickier than solid core cable, the overall consensus praises the product's robust performance and high standards. It remains a highly recommended staple for its reliability and cost effectiveness.
Know before you buy
Yes, this cable carries a CM fire rating, which means it is approved for general-purpose in-wall installation.
Pure bare copper provides superior conductivity, better signal integrity, and higher durability compared to copper-clad aluminum, which is prone to breakage and signal loss.
While this cable is stranded for flexibility, it is best suited for patch cables or shorter runs. For long-distance, permanent horizontal cabling, solid conductor wire is typically recommended to minimize signal attenuation.
No, this is a bulk 1000-foot spool of raw cable. You will need to purchase RJ45 connectors and a crimping tool separately to build your custom cables.
This cable supports bandwidth up to 550MHz and is rated for data rates of up to 1 Gbps, making it well-suited for standard home and office networking needs.
