West Penn Wire 4246IOBK1000 Cat6 Utp Cable Black 1000ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 4246IOBK1000 is a Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) stranded conductor cable designed for structured wiring in security and low-voltage data applications. Supplied in a 1000-foot pull box, this cable supports high-speed data transmission in installations where flexibility and reliable signal integrity are required. The stranded construction makes it well suited for runs where some degree of flex or movement is expected. Licensed low-voltage and security technicians typically specify this cable for access control panels, IP camera systems, and network backbone infrastructure in commercial and light industrial environments.

This cable is used in security system installations, structured cabling projects, and IP-based network deployments across residential and commercial job sites. Its black jacket is commonly selected for installations where the cable will be exposed or routed through conduit where color coding by application is preferred. The 1000-foot length is a standard reel size for contractors running multiple home-runs or long cable pulls without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• Category 6 UTP construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth security applications
• Stranded conductor design provides flexibility for security and low-voltage wiring runs
• 1000-foot continuous length reduces splice points and simplifies large installations
• Black jacket for easy application identification and conduit-friendly routing
• Sold as a single unit (each) for straightforward ordering and inventory tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Category 6 UTP stranded cable suitable for use with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and termination blocks that accept 23 AWG or 24 AWG Cat6 conductors in security and structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or data cabling technician in accordance with applicable local codes and TIA-568 cabling standards. Avoid sharp bend radii that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance on Cat6 runs. De-energize any connected network or security equipment before terminating conductors. Do not exceed the cable maximum pull tension during installation through conduit or cable trays.
