Eaton N224-01K-GY Tripp Lite 1000ft Cat6 Gigabit Bulk Cable
Overview
The Eaton N224-01K-GY is a high-performance, plenum-rated Category 6 (Cat6) solid core bulk Ethernet cable, meticulously engineered for demanding network infrastructure deployments. This 1000-foot spool of gray cable provides a robust solution for extending Gigabit Ethernet, voice, video, and security signals across various commercial and residential environments. Designed primarily for in-wall applications, including installation within air ducts and drop ceilings, it ensures reliable and high-speed data transmission while adhering to critical fire safety standards. Constructed with 23 AWG (American Wire Gauge) solid copper wire, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps and bandwidths reaching 550 MHz, offering superior performance for current and future networking needs. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) for excellent signal quality and reduced interference. The cable’s robust construction makes it an ideal choice for connecting network devices over long distances without compromising data integrity or speed. This Cat6 cable is also optimized for modern Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, supporting up to 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) and compliant with earlier PoE standards like 802.3af and 802.3at. The CMP-LP (Limited Power) plenum-rated PVC jacket meets UL’s latest safety standards, ensuring the cable can safely deliver high power levels to connected devices, even in bundled configurations or enclosed spaces. Its gray color allows for discreet installation in a wide range of settings, simplifying cable management and ensuring a professional aesthetic.
