Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Cat6 and Cat6a cable?
Cat6 cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 55 meters, while Cat6a supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters. This WIRC6CMPBLU is Cat6, suitable for shorter runs or where 10Gbps is not required for the full 100m distance.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet)?
Yes, this solid copper Cat6 cable is suitable for PoE applications. The solid conductors provide reliable power delivery alongside data transmission.
What are the benefits of using CMP-rated cable?
CMP (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Plenum) is rated for use in air-handling spaces, such as above drop ceilings. It has a lower smoke and flame spread rating than non-plenum cables, meeting strict building codes for safety.
Does this cable come with connectors already attached?
No, this is a bulk cable spool. You will need to terminate the cable ends yourself using compatible RJ45 connectors and appropriate tools.
