Cat6e Riser (CMR) 1000ft UTP Ethernet Cable - Easy Pull Box

In this review of the Cat6e Riser (CMR) 1000ft UTP cable, the bottom line is simple: this is a reliable bulk Ethernet cable for installers and home network upgrades who need certified performance and a hassle-free pull. The reviewer found the Reelex II box plus the 24AWG solid bare copper conductors make installations noticeably smoother while delivering consistent signal margin above standard Cat6 targets. For anyone wiring riser paths, in-wall runs, or long runs up to 328 ft, this cable balances certification, build quality, and real-world ease of use.

Key Features

• 1000ft Bulk Reel: A full 1000ft length supplies long runs and multiple drops without splicing, reducing waste on larger jobs.
• Solid Bare Copper 24AWG: Solid conductors provide stable connections and optimal signal strength for long-term reliability.
• 600MHz Performance: Tested to 600MHz and offering extra margin over EIA/TIA-568, it helps headroom for demanding environments.
• Reelex II Easy-Pull Box: The engineered box reduces tangles and twists, making cable pulls smoother in ceilings and riser shafts.
• Spline Construction: The internal spline improves pair separation and reduces crosstalk for cleaner transmission on each run.
• UL Listed and Compliant: UL listing, ETL verification and RoHS compliance mean the cable meets building inspection and safety expectations.

Who It's For

This cable is aimed at professional installers, network technicians and savvy homeowners who want a certified, high-performance Cat6e riser cable that is easy to pull and terminate. It is especially useful for riser installs in multi-story buildings, long home runs up to 328 ft, and locations requiring CM/CMR-rated cable with UL stickers.

Those who need shielded cable, ultraflex patch cords for tight moving equipment, or guaranteed 10Gb performance at full 100m distances should look elsewhere; this product is optimized for unshielded riser runs, gigabit networks and improved headroom rather than long-distance 10Gb over 100m.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid 24AWG bare copper offers dependable conductivity and perceived higher build quality.
• Reelex II box design and foot-marked jacket make measuring and pulling much easier on site.
• Certified testing and extra dB margin over standards provide useful headroom for PoE and demanding networks.
• Spline reduces crosstalk which helps performance on multi-pair transmissions.

Cons

• Unshielded design may not suit extremely noisy RF environments where shielded cable is preferable.
• Solid conductor cable is stiffer than stranded patch cable, so it is not ideal for frequent flexing or tight moving connections.

Our Verdict

The Cat6e Riser 1000ft is a practical choice for installers and homeowners who need a certified, easy-to-pull bulk cable with solid copper conductors and measurable performance headroom. It delivers excellent value where riser-rated, in-wall runs and PoE support matter most, though buyers needing shielded runs or flexible patch cords should choose a different cable type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable carry PoE?
Yes. The 24AWG solid copper conductors and Cat6e performance support PoE and PoE+ deployments reliably.

Is this cable suitable for in-wall install and building inspections?
Yes. The CMR riser rating and UL listing make it suitable for riser and many in-wall installations and it includes UL stickers on the box.

Will it run 10Gb Ethernet?
It can reach 10Gb at shorter distances; for standard runs up to 328 ft it reliably supports 1Gb and up to 600MHz performance.
