1000FT 23AWG Cat6 500MHz UTP Solid, Riser Rated (CMR), Bulk Ethernet Bare Copper Cable - Black

Cat6 cables are perfect for all your high speed networking applications. With blazing speeds up to 500MHz, you can connect all your WAN/LAN segments to all your networking gear and run full throttle without any bottlenecked lines. Great for all high bandwidth applications like VOIP and Gigabit networks. Cat-6 cables and connectors are made to higher standards featuring thicker gauge conduits and isolation spleens that reduce crosstalk and system noise.

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Solid cables are both economical and practical. Solid core conduits provide better performance over longer cable runs. Monoprice brings you UTP solid cables that are of unmatched quality at unrivaled prices. These cables are your best value for building your network.

These cables are CMR rated for all general in-wall and riser use.

All of our network cables are ROHS compliant and UL listed. Monoprice Cat5e and Cat6 cables are made of 100% bare copper wire, as opposed to copper clad aluminum (CCA) wire, and are therefore fully compliant with UL Code 444 and National Electrical Code TIA-568-C.2 fire and safety standards, which require pure bare copper wire in Cat5e and Cat6 communications cables.

Knowledge Base:

Question: This cable is listed as being "bare copper", does that mean it has no cable jacket or insulation?

Answer: The "bare copper" refers to the construction of the conductors, as specified in the following reference:

Section 5.3 of TIA-568-C.2 requires compliance with ANSI/ICEA SS-90-661-2006 and ANSI/ICEA S-102-732, which both include the following: "Solid conductors shall consist of commercially pure, annealed, bare copper ..."

The problem is that some manufacturer's cut costs by using Copper Clad Aluminum wire for their conductors. The aluminum has a higher resistance, which causes more heat and can thereby present a fire hazard. "Bare copper" is the term used in the National Electrical Code, Underwriters Laboratories, and the Communications Cable and Connectivity Association (CCCA). Our use of the term is intended to communicate our total compliance with their standards for Ethernet cable construction.
