Black Box EYN868A-PB-1000 CAT6 550MHz Solid Ethernet Bulk Cable
Overview
The Black Box EYN868A-PB-1000 is a 1000-foot spool of unshielded (UTP) Category 6 solid Ethernet cable. Designed for CMR (Communications Room/Riser) installations, its 550 MHz bandwidth rating supports data transmission speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances, making it suitable for backbone runs within a building or for connecting high-bandwidth surveillance equipment. The red PVC jacket aids in identification and compliance with specific cabling color-coding schemes.
Compatibility
This CAT6 cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 connectors and network devices supporting Ethernet standards up to 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) over limited distances. It is suitable for use with network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and other network-enabled devices that require reliable wired connectivity. Ensure your network infrastructure, including patch panels and connectors, also meets CAT6 specifications for optimal performance.
Installation Notes
The solid conductor construction of the EYN868A-PB-1000 provides superior performance and durability for permanent in-wall or in-conduit installations compared to stranded cable. However, solid core cable is less flexible and not recommended for patch cords or applications requiring frequent bending. The CMR rating indicates it meets fire safety standards for use in non-plenum, intra-building riser applications. Ensure proper termination techniques are used with compatible RJ45 connectors and a punch-down tool for reliable connections.
