International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6AWH Cat 6A CMR UTP Solid Cable

Overview

The International Connectors and Cable ICCABR6AWH is a 1,000-foot spool of white, Category 6A (Cat 6A) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) solid cable. Designed for high-performance data transmission, this cable is rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Residential), suitable for use in risers and plenums where fire safety codes are a consideration. Its 23 AWG (American Wire Gauge) construction supports data rates up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making it ideal for demanding surveillance systems requiring high bandwidth for multiple 4K streams or advanced analytics.

Compatibility

This Cat 6A cable is backward compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 6 standards but is optimized for Cat 6A performance. It is designed to work with standard RJ45 connectors and is suitable for termination into patch panels, wall plates, and network switches supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet. It is compatible with all network devices requiring high-speed data connectivity, including IP cameras, NVRs, and network infrastructure components from major manufacturers.

Installation Notes

The cable features solid conductors, which offer superior performance and lower attenuation over longer distances compared to stranded conductors, but are less flexible. Ensure proper termination techniques are used with compatible RJ45 connectors and tools to maintain signal integrity. The CMR rating indicates it meets specific fire safety standards for vertical runs in non-plenum spaces. Avoid sharp bends exceeding a 4x cable diameter radius to prevent internal conductor damage and signal degradation.
