Tripp Lite Cat6 Gigabit Bulk UTP Stranded 24 AWG CMR PVC Cable, White, 1000 ft. (304.8 m) TAA

Overview

The Tripp Lite N220-01K-WH is a bulk Cat6 UTP cable designed for creating custom-length patch cords on site, supplied in a 1000-foot spool. It features 24 AWG stranded copper conductors that offer flexibility for routing around racks and patch panels while maintaining the electrical integrity needed for Gigabit Ethernet. Supporting frequencies up to 250 MHz, this cable is suitable for 10/100/1000 Base-T networks and high-speed data applications, making it a reliable choice for IT professionals upgrading or expanding network infrastructure.

Key features

• Flexible 24 AWG stranded copper wire reduces stress on connectors and eases installation in tight spaces.
• Supports network speeds up to 1 Gbps and frequencies up to 250 MHz for robust data transmission.
• CMR-rated PVC jacket ensures compliance with fire safety codes for riser spaces between floors.
• Compact 0.22-inch diameter and no center spline allow quick stripping and easy termination with standard RJ45 plugs.
• Meets IEEE 802.3ab and ANSI/EIA/TIA 568 standards for seamless integration with existing Cat6 systems.
• TAA-compliant, making it suitable for government and GSA Schedule procurement requirements.
• Long 1000-foot spool provides flexibility to create patch cables of any length needed on site.
