Black Box CAT6A Bulk Cable Stranded UTP 650 MHz CM PVC PoE 1000 ft

Black Box GigaTrue CAT6A is a 1,000-foot, 650 MHz stranded UTP bulk cable rated for 10G networking applications, making it suitable for installers and network teams building or upgrading high-performance Ethernet connections.

Recommended For

• Network technicians making custom-length patch cables for switches, patch panels, and other rack equipment, where stranded cable’s flexibility is useful.
• Installers building short horizontal Ethernet runs that benefit from flexible stranded cable and need Cat6A-rated cabling for network or PoE connections.
• IT teams or cabling contractors outfitting multiple connections who want a 1,000-foot spool to cut and terminate to their required lengths.
• Users wiring general-purpose indoor spaces outside risers and plenums who need CM-rated cable rather than a cable specified for those special pathways.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• A network technician makes custom-length patch leads for a switch and patch panel; cutting lengths to fit the rack can reduce excess cable while providing CAT6A connections.
• An installer needs short horizontal links between a nearby network outlet and equipment; this stranded cable is positioned for short runs, while its CM jacket is for general-purpose locations—not risers or plenums.
• A user connects a compatible PoE access point, camera, or phone over a short link; the cable can carry both network data and PoE, reducing the need for a separate power connection at the device.
• A small office or home lab adds or rearranges equipment over time; a 1000-foot spool lets the installer make additional custom-length patch leads as connections are needed.
• A technician builds short CAT6A links for equipment intended to use 10-Gigabit networking; the cable is designed for 10G applications, though actual link speed depends on the connected devices and installation.
