CAT6 Solid Copper Grey Networking Cable, 100 m and 300 m
This CAT6 solid copper grey networking cable is designed for anyone who needs a dependable fixed cable for a network installation. It is supplied in two lengths, 100 m and 300 m, so you can match the reel to the size of the job. Whether you are wiring a single room, a full office floor or a building-wide network, the cable gives you a continuous run that can be terminated neatly at both ends.
Solid copper conductors are the traditional choice for permanent wiring. Unlike stranded cable, which is more flexible and better suited to patch leads, solid core cable is intended to stay in place once installed. It is typically pulled through conduit, ducting, ceiling voids and cable trays, then connected to patch panels, wall sockets or floor boxes. The grey outer sheath is a neutral colour that suits offices, schools, homes and commercial buildings.
Key features
- CAT6 networking cable for structured Ethernet installations
- Solid copper conductors for fixed, permanent wiring
- Grey outer sheath for a clean, unobtrusive look
- Available in 100 m and 300 m reels
- Suitable for terminating with RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks
Choosing the right length
The 100 m reel is a sensible choice for smaller installations, such as a few outlets in one office, a home network upgrade or a single equipment rack. The 300 m reel is better for larger projects, longer horizontal runs between floors or buildings, or sites where you want to avoid joins. Buying the right length in one reel reduces waste and means you do not have to splice or join cable runs, which keeps the installation tidy and easier to maintain.
Installation considerations
Because this is bulk cable, it needs to be terminated before use. You will need a cable stripper, a punch-down tool for patch panels or wall plates, and RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks depending on your layout. Plan your cable routes before you start, leave a little slack at each end for future changes, and avoid tight bends or sharp kinks. Keep pulling tension within the limits recommended for the product, and keep network cables separated from mains power cables where possible to reduce interference.
Test each run after termination with a suitable cable tester to confirm that connections are correct before the network is put into service. Label both ends of every cable so the installation can be understood and maintained later.
