Belkin CAT6 Solid Bulk Cable 1000ft (Purple)

Overview

The Belkin A7L704-1000-PUR is a 1000-foot spool of CAT6 solid bulk cable designed for professional installers who require reliable, standards-compliant network wiring. It features eight solid 24 AWG copper conductors with an internal separator to maintain signal integrity over long distances and in environments with electrical noise. This cable supports high-speed data transmission including Gigabit Ethernet and 1.2 Gbps ATM links, making it suitable for demanding network setups and broadband video distribution.

Its plenum-rated jacket allows safe installation in air-handling spaces such as drop ceilings, meeting fire-safety regulations. The distinctive purple outer jacket helps with quick identification and organization in complex cable runs, reducing troubleshooting time in busy network racks or pathways.

Key features

• CAT6 compliance exceeding TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards ensures compatibility with modern network equipment and high data rates.
• Long 1000-foot spool reduces the need for multiple connection points, minimizing potential signal loss and installation complexity.
• Internal separator keeps twisted pairs apart to reduce crosstalk and maintain stable signal quality over extended runs.
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire safety codes for installation in air-handling spaces, making it suitable for commercial and institutional environments.
• Bright purple jacket simplifies cable management by making runs easy to identify in crowded racks and cable trays.
