Cat6A Riser Bulk Ethernet Cable 1000ft - High-Speed 10G Performance

In this review the TRUE CABLE Cat6A Riser 1000ft cable is assessed for anyone wiring a home, office, or small data room who needs reliable high-speed networking without complicated shielding. The bottom line: it delivers consistent gigabit and 10 gigabit performance across typical run lengths and adds practical installation features like a tangle-free reel and 2ft sequential markings. The reviewer found it to be a solid, no-nonsense choice when you want a durable, riser-rated cable that supports PoE up to 100W and has been field tested to industry standards.

Key Features

• 10G and 1G support: Tested to support 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 328 ft for common networking needs.
• High bandwidth: Bandwidth validated up to 750 MHz to handle Full HD and 4K streaming, gaming, and data server traffic without obvious bottlenecks.
• Solid copper conductors: 23AWG solid bare copper provides reliable conductivity, stronger signals, and improved durability versus copper-clad alternatives.
• PoE capable: Supports PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ (IEEE 802.3af/at/bt) including 4PPoE up to 100W for powering cameras, APs, and switches over the run.
• Riser-rated jacket: CMR PVC jacket is intended for vertical runs between floors and in-wall use in non-plenum spaces, offering mild flame retardance.
• Installer-friendly reel: Supplied on an easy-pull, tangle-free reel with sequential 2ft markings for faster, more accurate installs.

Who It's For

The cable is well suited for homeowners upgrading to faster wired networking, small office or branch deployments, and IT pros wiring server closets or access points who need a riser-rated, high-bandwidth cable with PoE support. It also fits installers who appreciate the convenience of reel dispensing and built-in measurement markings.

Those who need shielded cable for electrically noisy environments or plenum-rated cable for air-handling spaces should look elsewhere; this product is unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) with a riser (CMR) PVC jacket and is designed for non-plenum indoor runs.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Consistent 1G and 10G performance across typical run lengths for streaming, gaming, and servers.
• Solid 23AWG bare copper offers superior conductivity and long-term durability.
• Supports PoE/PoE+/PoE++ including 100W 4PPoE for powered devices.
• Practical installer features like a tangle-free reel and 2ft sequential markings speed up installation.

Cons

• Unshielded design may not be ideal in high-interference environments where STP would perform better.
• The thicker conductor and sheath earned mixed user feedback for ease of termination with some RJ45 crimp dies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable suitable for powering PoE devices?
This cable supports PoE/PoE+/PoE++ including 4PPoE up to 100W, so it can power cameras, APs, and other PoE devices over typical runs.

Can I use this in plenum spaces?
No, the jacket is riser-rated PVC (CMR) for vertical and in-wall runs in non-plenum areas; choose a plenum-rated cable for air-handling spaces.

Will the cable work for 10G over long runs?
It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet within standard copper channel lengths (up to 328 ft) and has been bandwidth tested to 750 MHz for demanding applications.
