Black Box EYN880A-PB-1000 CAT6 Bulk Ethernet Cable
Overview
The Black Box EYN880A-PB-1000 is a 1000-foot bulk spool of Category 6 solid Ethernet cable. Designed for permanent installations within walls, ceilings, or conduit, this cable supports network speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) over shorter distances and 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) up to the full 100-meter standard. Its 550-MHz bandwidth rating ensures sufficient headroom for demanding data transmission, making it suitable for IP surveillance systems, VoIP deployments, and high-speed data networks where signal integrity is critical. The CMR (Communications Multipurpose Residential) rating indicates it meets safety standards for use in vertical runs within non-plenum spaces.
Compatibility
This CAT6 cable is compatible with all standard Ethernet network devices and infrastructure, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), VoIP phones, and workstations. It supports standard RJ45 connectors and is suitable for use with patch panels and wall jacks designed for Category 6 cabling. It is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT5 infrastructure but will perform to CAT6 specifications when terminated correctly with CAT6-rated connectors and hardware.
Installation Notes
For optimal performance and to achieve the rated 550-MHz bandwidth, maintain a twist rate on each pair of conductors up to the termination point. Avoid sharp bends or kinks, as these can degrade signal quality. The CMR rating means this cable is intended for use in non-plenum spaces; do not install in air-handling plenums without appropriate fire-rated enclosures or alternative plenum-rated cable. Ensure proper grounding and bonding practices are followed when connecting to network equipment.
