Infinity Cable CAT6 CMR Riser 1000ft Cat6 Ethernet Cable - Easy Pull

In this review the Infinity Cable CAT6 CMR Riser 1000ft box is evaluated for small business and home network installs that need a long, reliable run of unshielded Cat6. The reviewer finds it best for projects where easy pulling from a Reelex II box and stable gigabit performance matter most, and notes the cable delivers consistent signal strength with solid copper conductors and extra insulation around pairs. The overall bottom line: this is a practical, UL certified Cat6 riser cable for installers who want simple termination and a tangle-free pull.

Key Features

• Solid 100% copper conductors: Provides optimal signal strength and reliable gigabit throughput across standard runs up to 328 ft.
• 550MHz performance: Tested to support higher transmission frequencies for better headroom and reduced crosstalk compared with plain Cat5e.
• Reelex II easy-pull box: Box design allows smooth, twist-free pulls and keeps cable organized on the job site.
• CMR riser rating: Suitable for in-wall and between-floor runs where plenum-rated cable is not required and passes typical inspection requirements.
• No internal spline: Extra insulation around pairs delivers Cat6 performance while keeping the cable more flexible for tight runs and terminations.
• Foot-marked jacket: Jacket is marked every 2 ft so installers can track run length without measuring tools.

Who It's For

Installers, electricians, network technicians and homeowners who need a long length of Cat6 for structured cabling will appreciate this product. It works well when you plan to use keystone jacks, RJ45 plugs or field termination and want a solid 23AWG conductor that supports PoE and PoE+ without sacrificing flexibility.

Those who need plenum-rated cable for HVAC spaces should look elsewhere, and projects requiring shielded cable for high EMI environments may require a different product. If you require an internal spline for strict 10Gb over long distances, note this cable is designed without a spline and is optimized with thicker insulation instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good build quality with 23AWG solid copper for consistent signal and reduced attenuation.
• Easy to pull from the Reelex II box, minimizing kinks and tangles during installation.
• Supports 1Gb up to 328 ft and higher frequencies to 550MHz for future headroom.
• UL listed, ETL verified and RoHS compliant so it meets common code and safety checks.

Cons

• Not plenum rated, so it cannot be used in air-handling plenums.
• No internal spline, which some installers expect for maximum alien crosstalk control at very short 10Gb distances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this cable be used for PoE and PoE+?
Yes. The 23AWG solid copper conductors support PoE and PoE+ power delivery across standard Ethernet runs.

Is this cable plenum rated for ceiling air spaces?
No. This is a CMR riser rated cable and is intended for non-plenum in-wall and between-floor installations.

How easy is it to terminate with keystone jacks and RJ45 plugs?
Very easy; the cable is designed without a spline and with extra insulation for flexibility, making termination straightforward with standard Cat6 connectors.
