Black Box EYN879B-PB-1000 CAT6 550-MHz Solid Ethernet Bulk Cable
Overview
The Black Box EYN879B-PB-1000 is a 1000ft spool of solid, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Category 6 Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission up to 550 MHz. Its CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) rating ensures compliance for installation within air handling spaces, including plenums, making it suitable for commercial building infrastructure where fire safety and air quality are critical. This cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and beyond, ensuring robust network performance for surveillance systems, data networks, and other IP-based devices.
Compatibility
This CAT6 cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 standards and is designed to terminate with standard RJ45 connectors. It is suitable for use with any network devices requiring high-bandwidth Ethernet connectivity, including IP cameras, network switches, NVRs, access control panels, and wireless access points from various manufacturers that adhere to Ethernet standards.
Installation Notes
The solid conductor construction offers superior performance and durability for fixed installations compared to stranded cable. Ensure proper termination using CAT6-rated RJ45 connectors and a certified punch-down tool. The CMP plenum rating requires adherence to local building codes for in-wall and plenum space installations.
