Wirepath SP-CAT6A-1000-BLU Cat6a Riser Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH SP-CAT6A-1000-BLU is a 1000-foot bulk spool of Category 6A riser-rated (CMR) copper data cable in blue jacket. Cat6A supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it the standard choice for high-bandwidth structured cabling installations. The riser rating qualifies it for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings where plenum-rated cable is not required. Low-voltage installers and structured cabling technicians use this cable for new construction pulls, retrofit upgrades, and backbone runs where future-proofing bandwidth is a priority.

This cable is suited for horizontal and vertical runs in office buildings, schools, multi-family residential, and light commercial environments. It is pulled to patch panels, wall jacks, and network switches as part of a complete structured cabling system. The 1000-foot spool length is the industry-standard pull box quantity for full-floor or multi-drop runs, reducing mid-run splices and maintaining end-to-end signal integrity. Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians in accordance with TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Key Features

• Cat6A performance class supporting 10GBase-T at up to 500 MHz
• Riser (CMR) fire rating approved for vertical between-floor runs
• 1000-foot bulk spool minimizes mid-run splices on large pulls
• Blue jacket for color-coded infrastructure organization
• Compatible with standard 8P8C RJ45 Cat6A-rated termination tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bulk cable for structured Cat6A cabling systems terminated with standard 8P8C RJ45 Cat6A-rated keystone jacks, patch panels, and field-termination connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Maintain a minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid degrading cable geometry and signal performance. Do not untwist pairs more than 0.5 inches at termination points, as excess untwisting degrades crosstalk performance at 10G speeds. De-energize any adjacent circuits in the pathway as required by local code before beginning the pull.
