What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this Monoprice Cat6A cable for its professional grade quality and exceptional value. The core theme is reliability, directly attributed to the pure copper conductors essential for stable 10 Gigabit speeds and effective Power over Ethernet. Reviewers confirm this cable meets high specifications, offering a superior alternative to CCA products. Installers value the durable CMR jacket and consistent wire construction that aids in installation. While the robust 23AWG gauge contributes to stiffness, users agree the performance benefits far outweigh minor handling challenges. This bulk cable is recognized as a dependable, high specification choice for serious networking needs.
Know before you buy
No, this cable is CMR-rated for indoor riser applications only. It lacks the UV-resistant and waterproof jacket required for outdoor or direct-burial environments.
Yes, this is a standard 23AWG Cat6A cable designed to work with standard RJ45 connectors. Ensure you use connectors specifically rated for Cat6A to maintain the integrity of your 10Gbps connection.
Pure bare copper provides significantly better signal conductivity, lower resistance, and higher durability than CCA. It is the industry standard for reliable, long-term performance and is required for compliance with TIA standards.
The UTP design is highly effective for most standard office and residential environments. By utilizing tight twists in the wire pairs, it minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference without the need for bulky shielding.
CMR, or Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser, indicates that the cable jacket is fire-resistant and safe for installation in vertical shafts or between floors. It meets specific safety standards for preventing fire spread in building riser spaces.
While this cable is designed for 10Gbps speeds, it is fully backward compatible with Gigabit networks. Using Cat6A is a great way to future-proof your infrastructure if you plan to upgrade your hardware to 10Gbps in the future.
