Know before you buy
Yes, this cable features a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) rating, which means it is designed to meet fire safety standards for vertical runs between floors and general in-wall installations.
No, this is a 1000-foot spool of bulk cable. You will need to purchase RJ45 connectors separately and use a crimping tool to terminate the ends to your desired lengths.
Yes, the 23 AWG solid copper conductors are well-suited for PoE applications, providing the necessary conductivity and heat dissipation for devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points.
This cable is rated for Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps with a bandwidth capacity of 550 MHz, making it ideal for high-speed data, voice, and digital video distribution.
This is a UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. It relies on the precise twisting of the copper pairs to minimize interference rather than an external foil or braided shield.
Yes, this Tripp Lite Cat6 bulk cable is TAA compliant, making it eligible for GSA Schedule and other government-related contract purchases.
