Cat6e Ethernet Internet Cable - 120 FT CMR Riser-Rated 600MHz

In this review of the Cat6e Ethernet Internet Cable 120 ft, the bottom line is simple: this bulk run is aimed at installers and DIYers who need a long, riser-rated cable with solid pure copper conductors for stable network runs. The reviewer found it particularly useful for commercial or in-wall projects where a CMR/CL3R/FPLR flame-retardant rating is required and where 600 MHz performance is useful for demanding network devices. It is sold without RJ45 ends, so it suits customers who plan to terminate with their own connectors or keystone jacks.

Key Features

• Riser-rated CMR: The CMR/CL3R/FPLR flame-retardant jacket provides extra safety for riser and in-wall installations in commercial or multi-floor buildings.
• 600 MHz CAT 6E performance: High-frequency capacity supports fast data transfer for routers, switches, IP cameras, streaming and POE devices.
• 23 AWG solid pure copper: Solid bare annealed copper conductors deliver strong conductivity and lower signal loss compared with copper-clad alternatives.
• Internal spline: The internal spline reduces crosstalk between pairs, improving transmission integrity for longer runs.
• Bulk lengths available: Offered in lengths from 10 ft to 1000 ft so installers can pick a precise run length and reduce waste.

Who It's For

This cable is best for network installers, AV technicians and homeowners doing serious in-wall or riser runs who need a riser-rated jacket and solid copper conductors for reliable Gigabit ethernet or POE-powered devices. Buyers who plan to terminate cable themselves or use patch panels and jacks will value the bulk, no-end option.

It is less suited to buyers who want ready-made patch cables with factory-attached RJ45 plugs or those who need flexible stranded leads for frequent movement. If you prefer pre-terminated cables for immediate plug-and-play use, look for versions sold with connectors installed instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Riser-rated jacket adds a layer of fire safety appropriate for commercial in-wall runs.
• Solid 23 AWG pure copper conductors provide strong signal transmission and good conductivity.
• 600 MHz CAT 6E spec and internal spline reduce crosstalk for stable performance with high-bandwidth devices.
• Available in long bulk lengths, offering value for large projects and custom installations.

Cons

• Sold without RJ45 connectors, so buyers must terminate ends themselves or pay for termination.
• Some customers reported mixed durability at cable ends during termination, so careful handling and quality connectors are recommended.

Our Verdict

The Cat6e 120 ft CMR cable is a practical choice for installers and serious DIYers who need a riser-rated, solid copper bulk cable for in-wall, commercial or long-run network projects. Its 600 MHz capacity and 23 AWG pure copper conductors deliver good transmission for Gigabit ethernet and POE, and the riser rating adds safety value, though buyers should plan to terminate the cable themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cable come with RJ45 ends?
No. This product is sold in bulk without RJ45 connectors so customers must terminate ends or order pre-terminated cables separately.

Is this suitable for POE devices and IP cameras?
Yes. The 23 AWG solid copper conductors and 600 MHz CAT 6E spec are compatible with POE power delivery and IP camera network runs.

Can this be used for in-wall installations?
Yes. The CMR/CL3R/FPLR riser-rated jacket is intended for riser and in-wall installations where enhanced flame-retardant performance is needed.
