Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Features Shielded Twisted Pair (F/UTP) construction, which helps reduce electromagnetic interference.
- Utilizes 23AWG solid, pure bare copper conductors, ensuring reliable signal transmission.
- Has a CMR (Riser) fire safety rating, making it suitable for use in vertical runs within buildings.
- Compliant with IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards, supporting power over Ethernet applications.
- Tested to 550MHz bandwidth, providing ample headroom for high-speed network demands.
👎 Cons
- Comes in a 500-foot roll, which may be excessive for smaller home networking projects.
- The green jacket color might not blend discreetly in all installation environments.
- Requires specialized tools and expertise for proper termination, typical of bulk Ethernet cable.
- The "reel-in-box" packaging is convenient for dispensing but can be bulky for transport or storage in small spaces.
- Specific jacket material beyond "CMR" rating is not mentioned, which could influence flexibility or environmental resistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Monoprice Cat6A cable suitable for outdoor installations?
The cable has a CMR (Riser) fire safety rating for indoor vertical runs, but the product features do not indicate suitability or resistance for outdoor use.
Can this 500ft bulk cable be used for direct burial?
No, the cable has a CMR (Riser) rating which is for indoor use; it is not specified as suitable for direct burial applications.
What kind of connectors or terminations are required for this bulk Ethernet cable?
This is a bulk cable, so it requires RJ45 connectors and proper termination tools, which are not included, for creating custom length patch cables or permanent installations.
Does the "Shielded Twisted Pair (F/UTP)" mean it needs shielded connectors?
Yes, for full performance and to maintain the shielding integrity, it is recommended to use shielded RJ45 connectors and shielded patch panels with F/UTP cable.
What is the difference between a CMR and a CMP rated cable?
CMR (Riser) rated cables are designed for use in vertical applications between floors. CMP (Plenum) cables have a higher fire resistance and are suitable for use in plenum spaces, like above suspended ceilings or under raised floors. This cable is CMR rated.
