CAT6 UTP Networking Cable 305m Orange

The CAT6 UTP networking cable on a 305 metre reel is a bulk cable for building structured wired networks. It belongs to the Cat6 category, which is widely used for Ethernet connections that need to support higher data speeds than older cable types. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction is a common choice for general office and building networks.
Key features
- Cable type: CAT6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
- Reel length: 305 metres
- Conductor material: 99.99% oxygen-free copper (OFC)
- Conductor diameter: 0.52 mm
- Jacket colour: orange
- Supplied as a bulk reel for cutting and terminating to length
Conductor quality
The copper conductors are 99.99% oxygen-free, a high purity that reduces impurities which can affect electrical performance. Using high-purity copper is a common approach in data cabling where stable transmission and reliable connections matter over the life of the installation.
Why a bulk reel is useful
A 305 metre reel gives installers enough cable for several runs without repeated purchases. It reduces the number of joins and offcuts, and it lets installers measure each run to suit the layout of the building. Bulk cable is usually used with a crimping tool, RJ45 connectors and a cable tester.
Typical uses
- Cabling between network switches, patch panels and wall outlets
- Connecting computers, printers, servers and network storage
- Wiring for IP telephones and wireless access points
- New network points in offices, schools and homes
- Making custom-length patch leads for equipment racks
Installation tips
Plan cable routes before pulling cable, and keep it away from strong sources of electrical interference, such as power cables, where possible. Avoid bending the cable sharply or pulling it too hard during installation, as this can damage the conductors and the jacket. Label both ends of each run so the network is easy to maintain later.
Check that the cable, connectors and network equipment match the performance category required for your project. Local building regulations may also set rules for cable types, fire ratings and routing, so confirm these before installing.
Who it is for
The cable suits IT installers, electricians, office managers and home users who are comfortable terminating their own network cables. Its orange colour helps identify a specific cable run, which can be useful in larger installations where several cable types are in use.
