1000ft Cat6 550MHz STP CMR cable
Monoprice 118608 is a 304.8m bulk Ethernet cable built with 23AWG solid bare copper conductors and a shielded twisted-pair design. The CMR-rated PVC jacket meets riser-space fire requirements for commercial installations. It exceeds TIA/EIA 568-C.2 specifications for 1000Base-T gigabit networks. The blue jacket carries no logo markings.
Installers running riser-rated shielded runs
This cable suits contractors and IT teams who need UL-listed, RoHS-compliant Cat6 for in-wall or between-floor gigabit links where EMI shielding and CMR fire rating are required. Buyers who need a flexible stranded patch cord for short desk connections should look at something else. Anyone requiring a plenum-rated jacket for air-handling spaces cannot use this CMR product. Installers who prefer pre-terminated assemblies will not find connectors in this bulk reel.
Shielded twisted-pair construction with CMR rating
The combination of foil shielding around all four pairs and a riser-rated jacket determines whether this reel fits the building code and noise environment of the job site. If the project demands plenum rating or unshielded cable, this specific product will not meet those requirements.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Monoprice 118608 Cat6 550MHz STP CMR cable in a riser space?
Route the solid 23 AWG bare copper conductors through vertical shafts, maintain the twisted pairs to the termination point, and terminate to TIA/EIA 568-C.2 wiring standards using shielded connectors that ground the STP foil.
What maintenance will the Monoprice 118608 Cat6 550MHz STP CMR cable require over time?
The solid 23 AWG bare copper conductors and CMR-rated PVC jacket need no routine maintenance; inspect the shield bonding and jacket integrity only if network errors appear after building work.
What limit appears first when the Monoprice 118608 Cat6 550MHz STP CMR cable runs 1000Base-T continuously?
The 550 MHz bandwidth and 1000Base-T rating set the sustained throughput ceiling; the solid 23 AWG conductors and CMR jacket do not impose a lower thermal or distance limit.
