International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6VYL Cat 6 CMR Cable

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6VYL is a 1,000 ft spool of Category 6 UTP solid copper cable, jacketed in yellow. Designed for horizontal in-wall runs, its CMR (Communications Room Rated) rating signifies compliance with safety standards for use within vertical pathways and between building floors. This cable supports data transmission up to 1 Gbps and is suitable for powering devices via PoE (Power over Ethernet) when used with appropriate network infrastructure, making it a foundational component for IP surveillance systems, network infrastructure, and building automation.

Compatibility

This Cat 6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network devices supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet speeds. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, patch panels, and IP cameras that utilize standard Ethernet cabling. Its CMR rating restricts installation to non-plenum spaces, meaning it should not be used in air-handling plenums without additional protective conduit or specific code compliance.

Installation Notes

Ensure proper termination using Cat 6 rated RJ45 connectors or patch panels to maintain signal integrity and achieve rated performance. For PoE applications, verify that the power sourcing equipment (e.g., PoE switch) can supply sufficient wattage for the connected devices. The cable's solid copper construction offers superior performance over stranded cable for longer runs but is less flexible for patch cord applications.
