Description

StarTech WIR6CMRBL 1000ft Cat6 CMR Cable

Overview

The StarTech WIR6CMRBL is a 1000-foot spool of blue, Category 6 network cable designed for high-performance data transmission. Its 23 AWG solid copper conductors and 550 MHz bandwidth support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for demanding network infrastructure deployments in commercial buildings, data centers, or anywhere reliable, high-speed connectivity is critical. The CMR (Riser) fire rating ensures compliance with building codes for vertical cable runs between floors.

Compatibility

This cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks, but is optimized for Category 6 standards. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, servers, workstations, and surveillance cameras that require high-bandwidth, low-latency connections. Use this cable for new installations or to upgrade existing infrastructure to support 10Gbps speeds over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet) per segment, as per Ethernet standards. For the full 1000ft spool, ensure your network design accounts for segment length limitations.

Installation Notes

The cable features a durable PVC jacket for protection and is CMR rated for use in non-plenum, vertical applications. Its solid copper construction offers superior performance over copper-clad aluminum (CCA) but requires careful handling to avoid kinks or damage that could affect signal integrity. Ensure proper termination with compatible Cat6 RJ45 connectors or patch panels to achieve optimal performance and data rates.
