Tripp Lite
Tripp Lite series Cat6a 10G-Certified Solid Core UTP CMR PVC Bulk Ethernet Cable
Best high-speed cabling for professional data center and riser installations.
This Tripp Lite Cat6a bulk Ethernet cable is engineered for demanding data center and networking installations. Supplied on a 1000 ft. spool, this solid core cable uses 23 AWG copper wire to reliably support transmission speeds up to 10 Gbps for 10GBASE-T applications. It features tight twists and an internal separator to minimize crosstalk and ensure excellent signal integrity. The flame-retardant, CMR-rated PVC jacket makes it suitable for riser installations. This cable meets or exceeds key industry standards, offering a trusted, high-performance connectivity solution.

What customers say
Customers highly value this Tripp Lite Cat6a bulk cable primarily for its exceptional performance and reliability in demanding 10 Gigabit Ethernet setups. The certified quality ensures minimal crosstalk and stable high bandwidth, making it a trusted choice for professionals. While the solid core construction guarantees superior long distance runs, reviewers consistently note its significant stiffness, which complicates installation in tight spaces. Users accept this trade-off, understanding it supports the necessary Cat6a shielding. The CMR rating adds versatility for commercial riser installations. Overall, the cable offers excellent value, delivering uncompromising performance suitable for large projects where reliability is paramount.
Know before you buy
No, this cable is not outdoor-rated. It is designed for indoor use, specifically for riser installations within walls or between floors.
This specific cable is not rated for PoE applications. You should look for a cable explicitly labeled for PoE if your networking hardware requires power delivery over the Ethernet line.
The solid core construction provides better signal integrity and lower attenuation over longer distances compared to stranded cable. It is the ideal choice for permanent, fixed installations in data centers or office buildings.
Yes, this Cat6a cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors designed for 23 AWG solid wire. Ensure your connectors are specifically rated for Cat6a to maintain the 10 Gbps performance standard.
The internal separator keeps the four twisted pairs physically separated, which significantly reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. This design is essential for achieving reliable 10 Gbps speeds.
The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating indicates that the cable jacket is flame-retardant and safe for use in vertical riser shafts between floors. It meets specific fire safety standards required for most commercial building codes.
