Use Cases

Plan network and data cable runs

Use bulk cable for structured wiring, horizontal network cabling, Ethernet connections, and compatible data-network applications. Selected Cat6 cable is also described for data, voice, and video distribution.

How to Choose

Match the cable to project requirements

Start with the required category and stated frequency rating. Then compare 23 AWG or 24 AWG conductors, UTP or shielded construction, the needed jacket designation, and the package length for the planned runs.

Applications

Organize commercial and facility installations

These cables are intended for installers, technicians, commercial buyers, facilities teams, and network cabling professionals routing connections throughout an installation.

Additional Info

Use color for cable identification

Available jacket colors include white, yellow, blue, black, gray, and green. Color can help distinguish cable runs and coordinate with an installation's cable-identification plan.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Cable Category and Construction

Compare Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6E options

The category includes Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6E network cable. Cat5e options are shown with 100 MHz or 350 MHz ratings, while Cat6 and Cat6E options include 550 MHz ratings. Review the category and frequency rating specified for the project before choosing.

  • Cat5e options include 100 MHz and 350 MHz ratings.
  • Cat6 horizontal and bulk cable options include 550 MHz performance or rating.
  • Cat6E options are listed with 550 MHz ratings.
  • Available constructions include four-pair UTP and shielded four-pair cable.
Jacket and Run Planning

Select the configuration for the cable route

Several products carry CMP or plenum identification, while one Cat6 PVC option is described for non-plenum horizontal wiring runs. Package choices include 500-foot and 1,000-foot boxes, pull boxes, spool/box formats, and a 1,000-foot reel-in-a-box. Choose a format and length that fit the amount of cable needed for the installation.

  • CMP and plenum designations are available on selected Cat5e and Cat6E products.
  • 500-foot options suit projects needing a shorter bulk length.
  • 1,000-foot packages provide a larger cable supply for longer or broader installation work.
  • Pull boxes and dispensing-ready packaging support organized cable deployment.
Conductor Size and Identification

Review AWG, shielding, and jacket color

The listed cables use either 23 AWG or 24 AWG conductors and four-pair configurations. Most are UTP, while one Cat5e plenum option uses shielded twisted pairs and color-striped pairs for pair identification during installation and termination. Jacket colors provide another way to distinguish runs.

  • 23 AWG options are available in Cat6 and Cat6E cable.
  • 24 AWG options are available in Cat5e cable.
  • Most listed cables use unshielded twisted-pair construction.
  • Blue, white, yellow, black, gray, and green jackets support run identification.
