Panduit PUO6C04BL-CGZ Bulk Copper Cable

Overview

The Panduit PUO6C04BL-CGZ is a 1000-foot spool of black, Category 6 (CAT6) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) bulk copper cable. Featuring 23 AWG solid conductors, this cable is designed for robust network infrastructure deployments where reliable data transmission is critical. It meets industry standards for performance up to 550 MHz, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and beyond, making it suitable for new installations or upgrades in enterprise data centers and commercial environments.

Compatibility

This bulk cable is designed for use with standard RJ45 connectors and is compatible with all 23 AWG CAT6 termination hardware. It supports 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet, 10GBASE-T up to 55 meters, and is suitable for use in structured cabling systems that adhere to TIA/EIA-568-C.2 standards. It is intended for use with network switches, routers, patch panels, and other networking equipment requiring Category 6 performance.

Installation Notes

The cable features a solid 23 AWG conductor construction, which offers superior performance and transmission characteristics compared to stranded wire for fixed installations. However, solid conductors are less flexible and not recommended for applications requiring frequent flexing or movement. The 1000-foot length is provided on a reel for easier deployment, but care should be taken to avoid kinks or excessive bending radius (minimum bend radius of 4x cable diameter) to maintain signal integrity.
