Eaton N220-01K-BL Tripp Lite 1000ft Cat6 Gigabit Bulk Cable
Overview
The Eaton N220-01K-BL is a high-performance Tripp Lite Series Cat6 Gigabit bulk unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meticulously engineered for IT professionals building or expanding local area networks. Designed to meet the demands of modern data distribution, this 1000-foot (304.8-meter) blue cable is specifically intended for creating custom-length patch cable assemblies. It serves as an ideal foundation for robust network infrastructure, ensuring seamless data, voice, and digital video transmission across various Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its flexible, bulk format empowers engineers and technicians to precisely tailor cable runs, minimizing waste and optimizing deployment in diverse environments. Constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper wire in a four-pair configuration, the N220-01K-BL is channel-tested to support speeds up to 1 Gbps at a 250 MHz frequency. This design effectively reduces impedance and structural return loss when compared to standard 100 MHz wiring, ensuring superior signal quality and minimizing near-end crosstalk (NEXT). The stranded conductors enhance flexibility, making it easier to route and terminate, while the absence of a center spline simplifies RJ45 plug installations. This robust construction makes the cable suitable for a wide array of applications, including 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet, 100 Mbps TPDDI, 155 Mbps ATM, ISDN, voice, EIA/TIA, and Token Ring Type 3. The N220-01K-BL cable is protected by a Communications Multipurpose Riser (CMR)-rated PVC jacket, making it safe for vertical runs in riser spaces within buildings. Its 0.22-inch outer diameter contributes to a flexible profile, facilitating easier installation in conduit or cable trays. This bulk cable is particularly valuable in large-scale installations such as data centers, enterprise wiring closets, or office environments where a precise and efficient distribution of network connectivity is paramount. As a passive networking component, its reliable performance directly supports the integrity and efficiency of active network devices and management platforms.
