Wirepath SP-CAT6-DB-1000-BLK CAT6 Riser Cable 1000ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-CAT6-DB-1000-BLK is a 1000-foot spool of CAT6 unshielded twisted pair riser-rated cable wound on a wood drum and finished in black. CAT6 riser cable meets the CMR (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Riser) flame rating, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors inside commercial and residential structures. Low-voltage installers and structured cabling technicians use this cable for data and voice network infrastructure. The 1000-foot wood drum format reduces tangling during pulls and is a standard jobsite quantity for rough-in wiring work.

This cable is suited for horizontal and vertical structured wiring installations in residential and light commercial buildings. Typical applications include running drops to wall jacks, patch panels, access points, IP cameras, and VoIP devices. The riser rating qualifies it for in-wall and between-floor pathways where plenum-rated cable is not required. Its black jacket aids identification in multi-cable runs or in installations where color-coding by cable type is used.

Key Features

• 1000-foot continuous run on a wood drum for clean, tangle-free cable pulls
• CAT6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications at appropriate distances
• CMR riser-rated jacket for vertical in-building runs between floors
• Black jacket for easy identification and color-coded installation schemes
• Sold as a single unit (EA) — one 1000-foot drum per order

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT6 riser cable compatible with RJ-45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and modular plugs that accept 23 AWG or 24 AWG CAT6 conductors. Suitable for use in structured cabling systems following TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable local codes and ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid degrading cable performance. Keep riser cable runs separated from high-voltage electrical conduit where required by NEC Article 800. Terminate conductors with CAT6-rated punchdown tools or crimp tooling to maintain pair twist integrity up to the termination point.
