International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6VBK Cat 6 500 UTP Solid Cable 23G 4P CMR 1000 FT Black

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6VBK is a 1,000-foot spool of black, Category 6, 23 AWG, 4-pair, solid UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. Designed for in-wall installations, this CMR (Communications Multipurpose Residential) rated cable ensures reliable data transmission for network infrastructure, including IP surveillance systems, where consistent bandwidth is critical. Its solid construction provides superior performance over stranded cable for longer runs and fixed installations.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and is suitable for use in networks operating at speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) over shorter distances (up to 55 meters) and 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over its full 1,000-foot length. It supports bandwidth frequencies up to 550 MHz, exceeding the requirements for standard Cat 5e and ensuring headroom for future network upgrades. It is suitable for use with any network switch, router, or IP camera that utilizes standard Ethernet connectivity.

Installation Notes

The cable is rated CMR for vertical or general-purpose use in non-plenum spaces, meaning it has a lower fire resistance rating than CL2P or CMP cables. Ensure compliance with local building codes regarding cable fire ratings. The solid conductors require termination using punch-down tools or RJ45 connectors designed for solid conductors. Avoid sharp bends (maintain a minimum bend radius of 4 times the cable diameter) to prevent signal degradation and conductor damage.
