International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6VWH Cat 6 500ft UTP Solid Cable

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6VWH is a 500-foot spool of Category 6 (Cat 6) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) solid copper cable. Designed for horizontal in-wall runs, this 23 AWG, 4-pair cable supports network speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) over shorter distances and 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) up to 100 meters. Its CMR (Communications Multipurpose-Rated) jacket makes it suitable for use in non-plenum, vertical pathways within commercial buildings, ensuring compliance with building codes for general-purpose networking infrastructure. This cable is critical for reliable data transmission in surveillance systems, ensuring video streams are not degraded by poor cable quality.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment supporting 10/100/1000/10GBASE-T Ethernet, including network switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards (NICs) from all major manufacturers. It is suitable for use with IP cameras, NVRs, access control systems, and any other IP-based devices requiring a stable network connection. For optimal 10GbE performance, ensure all connected devices and patch panels are also Cat 6 or higher rated, and keep run lengths within 55 meters.

Installation Notes

The solid copper conductors provide superior performance and reliability compared to stranded wire for fixed installations. Use appropriate termination tools (e.g., punch-down tools) for connecting to patch panels and keystone jacks. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks or excessive tension, which can degrade performance. The CMR rating means it is intended for use in vertical pathways and not in air-handling plenums.
