Wirepath SP-CAT6-OD-1000-BLK Cat6 550mhz Bulk Cable

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-CAT6-OD-1000-BLK is a 1000-foot bulk spool of outdoor-rated Category 6 Ethernet cable rated to 550 MHz. Designed for structured wiring installations, it supports high-speed data transmission across runs that terminate at patch panels, switches, or network jacks. The 550 MHz bandwidth rating exceeds the standard Cat6 baseline, providing additional headroom for Gigabit and multi-gigabit applications. This cable is suited for low-voltage installers, network technicians, and electricians pulling data infrastructure in residential and light commercial projects where outdoor or direct-burial routing is required.

This cable is intended for outdoor structured cabling applications where standard non-plenum indoor cable is not appropriate. Typical installations include runs between buildings, exterior wall penetrations, and aerial or conduit paths exposed to weather. The black jacket color is standard for outdoor cable identification. It ships as a single 1000-foot spool, making it practical for whole-home or multi-drop commercial network installations completed in a single pull or terminated across multiple shorter runs.

Key Features

• Cat6 rated with 550 MHz bandwidth for Gigabit and multi-gigabit data applications
• 1000-foot bulk spool minimizes splicing on long structured cabling runs
• Outdoor-rated jacket construction for use in exterior and exposed environments
• Black jacket for easy identification in outdoor cabling installations
• Non-plenum cable category suitable for conduit, aerial, or direct exterior routing per local code

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 bulk cable compatible with RJ45 keystone jacks, patch panels, and field-termination connectors that accept 23 AWG or 24 AWG Cat6 conductors. Verify termination hardware is rated for outdoor or Cat6 use before installation.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians should follow local building codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards when routing and terminating this cable. Power down any active network equipment before connecting new runs. When routing outdoors, secure the cable against UV exposure and physical damage using appropriate conduit or cable supports. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius or pull tension specified for Cat6 bulk cable, as doing so can degrade transmission performance.
