Overall, this cable is viewed as a dependable, high performance choice for permanent network infrastructure where stability and cost efficiency are key priorities.
Know before you buy
No, this cable features a CMR-rated PVC jacket, which is designed for non-plenum horizontal wiring. It should not be used in air-handling spaces where a CMP-rated cable is required by building codes.
Yes, this Cat6 cable is engineered to support data rates up to 1 Gbps and bandwidths up to 550 MHz, making it well-suited for high-speed Gigabit Ethernet applications.
Yes, the 23 AWG solid copper wire is stiffer than stranded cable, which makes it ideal for permanent, long-distance horizontal runs through walls or conduits. It is not intended for patch cables that require frequent bending or movement.
Yes, this Tripp Lite cable is TAA-compliant, meaning it meets the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act for use in government projects and federal contracts.
The cable comes in a 1000-foot pull box. This design allows you to dispense the cable smoothly and easily, which helps prevent tangles and simplifies large-scale network installations.
This is a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. It relies on the precise twisting of the internal wire pairs to minimize impedance and crosstalk rather than physical shielding.
