Know before you buy
No, this cable is non-plenum rated. It is intended for horizontal runs in standard office environments and should not be installed in air-handling spaces.
The red jacket is purely for identification purposes, allowing you to easily trace or distinguish specific network runs within a busy server room or patch panel. It has no impact on the cable's data transmission performance.
Yes, the 23 AWG solid conductors are well-suited for PoE applications, providing the necessary stability and conductivity for powering devices like IP cameras and wireless access points.
No, this is a U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. It relies on the quality of its twisted pairs to minimize crosstalk rather than physical shielding, which keeps the cable more flexible and easier to pull.
Each reel contains 1,000 feet of CAT6 cable, providing ample length for extensive horizontal network installations.
