Our bulk 1,000ft stranded Cat6a gray Ethernet cable comes in an easy to use spool and is ideal for the person looking to make a variety of patch cables over a larger job or for one looking to be prepared to handle unexpected situations on the network infrastructure. Cat6a stranded cable is used in network applications and has been designed specifically for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. They perform at high-data transfer rates, and work with ATM and 10-gigabit speed products. This particular cable is a gray UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) stranded cable. The individual conductors are 24 AWG (American wire gauge) stranded pure copper. Pure copper conductors provide the best signal possible. This stranded Cat6a cable includes a spline to help ensure separation between the pairs which limits cross talk. Our Cat6a Ethernet cable exceeds the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard.
