Cat6 Riser Cable 1000ft – 100% Solid Bare Copper, CMR Rated, Ready for Every US Commercial & Residential Vertical Run

When your project calls for reliable in-wall and between-floor network cabling, our cat6 riser cable 1000ft delivers certified CMR performance with 100% solid bare copper conductors. Built to 23AWG with a genuine CMR-rated jacket, tested at 550 MHz, and verified by Fluke DSX-8000 at real-world run lengths — this is the bulk cat6 riser cable pure copper that licensed electricians and IT contractors across the United States trust for commercial, multifamily, and institutional installations.

Every foot of this cable is ETL Listed and fully compliant with ANSI/TIA/EIA-568B.2 and NEC Article 800 CMR requirements. Furthermore, it ships in an easy-pull tangle-free box that lets a single installer run cable through walls, conduit, and vertical shafts without a second person on the spool.

Why Cat6 Riser Cable 1000ft Is the Correct Choice for In-Wall and Vertical Runs

The National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 800 requires CMR-rated cable for vertical runs between floors and inside wall cavities in US commercial and residential buildings. CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) cable is engineered to prevent fire from spreading vertically between building floors — a critical safety requirement in multi-story construction across all 50 states.

Our cat6 riser cable 1000ft carries a genuine CMR rating tested to UL 1666 vertical flame standards. The jacket resists vertical flame propagation and meets every AHJ requirement for in-wall and between-floor structured cabling installations.

Moreover, this CMR rated ethernet cable 1000ft supports full Gigabit Ethernet up to 328 feet and 10 Gigabit speeds up to 180 feet on every run. One 1000ft spool covers an entire commercial floor — reducing freight costs and project delays for contractors running 6 to 9 drops per spool.

Key Features of Our Cat6 Riser Cable 1000ft

100% Solid Bare Copper Conductors — 23AWG, Oxygen-Free Every conductor in this cat6 riser cable 1000ft is oxygen-free pure copper at a consistent 23AWG gauge across the full spool. Solid bare copper cat6 CMR 1000ft delivers 61% lower resistance than copper-clad aluminum (CCA), full PoE++ compatibility, and compliance with ANSI/TIA-568B.2 standards. CCA cable violates TIA standards and is unsafe for PoE applications — our cable does not cut that corner.

Genuine CMR Riser Rating — ETL Listed The CMR-rated jacket is independently tested and ETL Listed for vertical flame spread resistance per UL 1666. It is accepted by every AHJ in the United States for in-wall, vertical shaft, and between-floor cable runs. Unlike non-CMR cable, this solid bare copper cat6 CMR 1000ft ships with a compliance data sheet for immediate permit documentation.

550 MHz Bandwidth — Exceeds Cat6 Minimum Tested and verified at 550 MHz, this cat6 23AWG solid copper riser cable exceeds the 250 MHz minimum Category 6 requirement. As a result, your structured cabling installation supports current Gigabit networks and is ready for next-generation speed upgrades without recabling.

PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) — Up to 90W Pure copper conductors deliver full 802.3af (15.4W), 802.3at (30W), and 802.3bt (90W 4PPoE) compliance. IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, smart building controls, and 4PPoE devices all run safely on this cable. CCA cable generates dangerous heat under PoE loads — solid copper does not.

4-Pair UTP Construction — Precision Twist Ratios All four unshielded twisted pairs are precision-wound to strict twist-ratio tolerances, controlling near-end crosstalk (NEXT) and alien crosstalk (ANEXT) across the entire 1000ft spool. Consequently, signal integrity stays consistent at every run length — not just in controlled bench tests.

Easy-Pull Tangle-Free Box The cat6 riser UTP 1000ft pull box design feeds cable smoothly through walls, J-hooks, conduit, and vertical risers without tangling. The low-friction CMR jacket glides cleanly through tight bends and long vertical pulls. Therefore, a single installer can complete runs that would otherwise require two people managing a loose spool.

Available in 7 Colors Blue, White, Gray, Yellow, Black, Purple, and Green — supporting TIA-606 color-coded cable management documentation used across US enterprise, healthcare, and government facilities.

Why Our Cat6 Riser Cable 1000ft Outperforms the Competition

The US cabling market is flooded with CMR cable that uses CCA conductors, fails UL 1666 on independent testing, or ships without proper documentation. Here is what makes 52Networks different.

Pure copper — verified by field testing. Our cat6 23AWG solid copper riser cable is manufactured with oxygen-free copper drawn to consistent gauge throughout the entire 1000ft spool. Every batch is field-tested with the Fluke DSX-8000 Versiv Cable Analyzer and passes at 90+ meters. That is real-world channel performance confirmation — not estimated numbers on a data sheet.

CMR documentation on day one. Every order ships with an ETL Listing data sheet, UL 1666 CMR certification reference, ANSI/TIA-568B.2 compliance report, and NEC Article 800 CMR classification. Your permit package, AHJ submittals, and inspection documentation are ready before the first drop is pulled.

CCA-free, every spool. Some suppliers label cable “copper” when it contains copper-clad aluminum cores. Our cable uses 100% solid bare copper exclusively. Furthermore, every spool is batch-verified — so the cable you pull on day 100 of a project performs identically to the cable you pulled on day 1.

Trusted across all 50 states. As a full-service ethernet cable supplier USA, 52Networks supplies licensed electricians, structured cabling contractors, IT integrators, and facility managers on commercial, healthcare, government, and multifamily projects nationwide. Need plenum-rated cable for air-handling spaces? See our Cat6 Solid Copper Plenum cable instead. For higher bandwidth demands, our Cat6a Riser Solid Copper supports full 10GbE at 100 meters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between CMR riser cable and CMP plenum cable? CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) cable is rated for vertical runs between floors, inside wall cavities, and in non-plenum conduit. It resists vertical flame spread per UL 1666. CMP (plenum) cable is rated for air-handling spaces — drop ceilings and raised floors — and meets the stricter UL 910 horizontal flame test. CMP cable can always substitute for CMR, but CMR cable cannot be used in plenum spaces. Use this cat6 riser cable 1000ft for walls and vertical shafts. Use our Cat6 Plenum cable for drop ceilings and raised floors.

Q: Does solid bare copper cat6 riser cable support PoE++ devices? Yes. Our 100% solid bare copper conductors fully comply with IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) delivering up to 90 watts over 4 pairs (4PPoE). This supports the most demanding PoE applications — including pan-tilt-zoom IP cameras, 802.11ax wireless access points, multi-line VoIP phones, and smart building automation devices. CCA cable fails PoE standards and creates heat buildup risk. Always specify pure copper for any powered device installation.

Q: How many drops can I get from one 1000ft spool of cat6 riser cable? At the NEC maximum of 100 meters (328ft): approximately 3 drops per spool. At a typical US commercial run of 100–110 feet: 8 to 9 drops. Most contractors average 6 to 7 usable drops per spool after accounting for slack, service loops, labeling, and waste. For large projects requiring 10+ spools, contact us for volume and freight pricing.

Q: Is this cat6 riser cable approved for schools, hospitals, and government buildings? Yes — for non-plenum spaces. ETL Listing, CMR UL 1666 certification, ANSI/TIA-568B.2 compliance, and NEC Article 800 CMR classification satisfy procurement requirements for in-wall and riser spaces in public schools, VA facilities, GSA-managed government buildings, and JCAHO hospital projects. All compliance documentation ships with every order.
