International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6VGN Cat 6 500ft CMR UTP Solid Cable

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6VGN is a 500-foot spool of Category 6 (Cat 6) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) solid copper cable. Rated CMR (Communications Room/Riser), this cable is designed for in-wall and riser installations within commercial buildings, supporting data transmission up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances and 1 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters. Its green jacket helps differentiate it from other cable types in complex network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and is suitable for use with all network devices supporting Ethernet standards up to 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) where cable length and interference permit. It is designed for use with patch panels, keystone jacks, and network switches that conform to TIA/EIA-568 standards.

Installation Notes

The cable features 23 AWG solid copper conductors, providing superior performance and reliability compared to stranded wire for fixed installations. Ensure proper termination using a punch-down tool for patch panels and keystone jacks, or an RJ45 crimp tool for patch cords. The CMR rating indicates it meets fire safety standards for use in vertical runs between floors, but not in air handling spaces (plenum-rated cable is required for that). Avoid sharp bends that exceed a 4-inch minimum bend radius to prevent conductor damage and signal degradation.
