Cat6 1000ft UTP Gray Ethernet Cable - Bulk 23AWG Solid CCA

Our review of the Cat6 1000ft UTP Gray Ethernet Cable looks at whether this bulk roll is a practical choice for custom network installs and patch panel runs. For anyone wiring a home or small office network who needs long continuous runs and wants to cut exact lengths, the single biggest reason to buy is value: a full 1000 ft pull-out box of Cat6 solid cable that meets Cat6 specs and delivers gigabit transfers while keeping material costs low.

Key Features

• 1000 ft pull-out box: Provides a full bulk spool with an easy pull-out design that simplifies long runs and on-site measuring.
• 23AWG solid conductors: Four pair solid twisted wires give consistent impedance for reliable terminations to patch panels and wall jacks.
• Copper clad aluminum (CCA): The CCA construction reduces cost while still supporting certified 10/100/1000 Mbps operation for gigabit networks.
• Meets Cat6 specifications: Built to Cat6 performance standards up to 550 MHz, so it is suitable for high-bandwidth LAN applications.
• Run marking: Running FT count printed on the jacket makes measuring and deployment faster on longer cable runs.

Who It's For

This cable is aimed at DIY installers, integrators, and small business IT staff who need to run multiple long cables and terminate on-site to patch panels, 110 punchdown blocks, or keystone jacks. It is especially useful where budget matters but the installer still requires a cable that is Cat6 rated and gigabit-capable.

Those who require pure copper conductors for specific high-reliability or long-distance links, or who must meet certain commercial building codes that prohibit CCA, should look elsewhere. Also, users who prefer pre-terminated cables or stranded patch cords for frequent moves should consider different products.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Cost-effective bulk length that reduces cost per foot for large installs.
• Solid 23AWG four pair construction gives reliable terminations to panels and jacks.
• Printed run length and pull-out box design speed up installation and measuring.

Cons

• CCA conductor may not match performance or longevity of full copper for every application.
• Bulk unshielded cable is not intended for environments needing shielded runs or frequent flexing.

Our Verdict

For budget-conscious installers who need a long continuous Cat6 run for terminating at patch panels or wall plates, this 1000 ft pull-out box is a practical, gigabit-capable option that balances performance and price. It is good value when CCA is acceptable and the installation calls for stationary solid-conductor runs rather than flexible patching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable suitable for gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, the cable is certified to support 10/100/1000 Mbps and is built to Cat6 performance up to 550 MHz.

Can I use this with standard RJ45 connectors?
Yes, the 23AWG solid conductors are intended for termination with solid-compatible modular RJ45 connectors and punchdown blocks.

Is this cable pure copper?
No, the product uses copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors, which reduce cost but differ from pure copper in conductor composition.
