Know before you buy
No, this cable is rated for Riser (CMR) use, which is intended for indoor applications like vertical shafts between floors. It lacks the UV and moisture resistance required for outdoor environments.
The foil shielding protects your data from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. This is particularly useful in commercial settings where you might be running cables near power lines or other equipment that could disrupt your signal.
Yes, it includes an integrated rip cord, which allows you to easily strip the outer PVC jacket without risking damage to the internal copper conductors.
This cable features solid 23 AWG copper conductors. Solid copper is the industry standard for permanent, long-distance horizontal cabling runs because it offers better signal integrity and performance than stranded alternatives.
Yes, this cable is fully capable of supporting Gigabit Ethernet and beyond. It is designed to meet Cat6 performance standards, ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission for your network infrastructure.
