Cat6 Riser (CMR) - 23AWG, UTP, Solid Bulk Networking Cable
Best networking cable for professional in-wall residential and commercial installations.
This bulk networking cable is designed for high-speed local area networks, supporting demanding applications like Gigabit Ethernet and PoE. Its Riser (CMR) rating makes it suitable for safe installation within walls and between floors in non-plenum areas. The cable reliably transmits data up to 550MHz and is constructed without a spline for easier installation. Featuring 100% pure copper conductors, it exceeds industry standards and comes in convenient, tangle-free packaging marked every two feet for accurate length tracking.

Know before you buy
CMR stands for Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser. This rating means the cable is fire-resistant and safe to install inside walls and between floors in residential or commercial buildings.
Yes, because this cable is made with 100% pure copper conductors, it is fully capable of supporting PoE applications safely and efficiently.
The absence of a spline makes the cable more flexible and easier to terminate during installation. It maintains high performance without the extra bulk, simplifying the process of pulling and connecting the wires.
The jacket is printed with sequential length markings every two feet. This allows you to quickly see how much cable you have used and how much remains on the spool.
No, this cable is designed for indoor use only. It lacks the UV-resistant or waterproof jacket required for outdoor environments or direct burial.
While it is tested up to 550MHz and supports high-speed data, 10Gbps performance is typically limited to shorter distances with Cat6. For reliable 10Gbps over longer runs, Cat6A is generally recommended.
