Cat6 cables, officially called category 6 cables, are standardized twisted pair cables that are specifically designed for Ethernet and other networking applications. These are the sixth generation of this type of cable and are slowly becoming the industry standard. The Cat6 cable offers a 1 gigabit per second rate of data and can accommodate 10 gigabit Ethernet connections up to 164 feet for a single cable. TheCableCentral has a huge variety of bulk Cat6 cables in various lengths and colors to meet your specific needs.

If you’re a networking professional or hobbyist, then you already know that Cat6 cables are quickly replacing the old Cat5 and Cat5e cables. Cat5e cables are still commonly used, mostly because they can also support gigabit Ethernet (however, they can only support 1000BASE-T, compared with Cat6’s ability to support 10GBASE-T) and come with a lower price tag. With that being said, Cat5 and 5e cables generally don’t perform at the same standards as Cat6. The newer versions are known for their ability to provide lower crosstalk as well as a higher signal-to-noise ratio.

Choose bulk Cat6 cables from a huge variety of options, including unshielded and foil Cat6 cabling. We also have cables in a wide variety of colors and two different lengths (500 or 1,000 feet) to match your needs. Looking for even better performance? We offer a selection of Cat6a cables, and continually update our inventory to reflect the latest and greatest in cable technologies. Cat6a cables are becoming popular because they allow you to network 10 gigabit Ethernet in a single run up to 328 feet. Get yours today!

If you need Cat6 ethernet cables for your next networking project, you can get the type you need at TheCableCentral. Category 6 cables are the sixth generation of this twisted pair cable designed primarily for Ethernet and LAN applications. It is gradually becoming the new industry standard because of its higher speed capabilities and lower crosstalk than Cat5 and Cat5e. Whether you are setting up a new business network or upgrading to meet increasing demands, TheCableCentral has Cat6 cable in bulk for both permanent runs and for creating patch cords. We carry Cat6 cables wholesale in 1,000-foot and 500-foot lengths at great prices.

Several styles of bulk Cat6 ethernet cables are available, all of which support 1 Gbps data speeds. Solid Cat6 cable has the rigidity for long continuous cable runs while stranded cable has more flexibility for patch cables and wrapping. Order a foil shielded Cat6 spool for additional protection from electromagnetic interference or choose unshielded cable to save money in low-traffic areas. Our plenum Cat6 cable offers improved fire resistance for runs beneath the floor or above ceilings. You can also pick between a Cat6 spool or pullbox for unwinding cable during setup.

All of our bulk Cat6 cables exceed the latest EIA/TIA-568-C standards for performance. Our Cat6 cable spools come in several different colors such as classic gray, yellow, black, blue and red to color-code your cabling. TheCableCentral also sells Ethernet cable crimp tools and connectors for putting your bulk Cat6 Ethernet cable to use. We do full fluke testing on all wholesale Cat6 ethernet cable spools and back them with a lifetime warranty. If you need ultra-fast data speeds across even greater distances, consider our Cat6a bulk cables. Our knowledgeable customer service team is here to assist professionals and hobbyists alike who are looking to create a Cat6-based local network.
