Black Box 1000ft Spool CAT6 Shielded Plenum Ethernet Cable (Yellow)

Overview

The Black Box EVNSL0614A-1000 is a 1000 foot spool of Category 6 shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-performance network installations. It supports data rates of 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps with bandwidth up to 400 MHz, making it suitable for data, voice, and high-definition video transmission. The cable features 23 AWG solid copper conductors and an aluminum Mylar foil shield to reduce interference, while its plenum rating allows safe installation in air handling spaces according to commercial building codes.

Key features

• Long 1000 foot spool provides flexibility for custom cable runs and reduces waste on large projects
• Shielding with aluminum Mylar foil protects against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring signal clarity
• Plenum-rated jacket meets fire safety standards for installation in air handling spaces
• 23 AWG solid copper conductors maintain low attenuation over extended distances
• 7.0 mm outer diameter with tight tolerance allows smooth pulling through conduits and patch panels
• Complies with TIA/EIA-568-C.2 Category 6 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards for reliable performance and certification compatibility

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to support a wide range of Ethernet devices and network equipment that operate at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. Its shielding and plenum rating make it a strong choice for commercial environments such as offices, healthcare facilities, and campuses where compliance with fire codes and interference reduction are critical. It works well with switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards that require Category 6 cabling.

Ideal uses and environments

The spool is well suited for large-scale network installations where long cable runs are needed without sacrificing signal quality. Its plenum rating allows safe routing through air ducts and ceilings, making it a practical option for new office floors, data centers, and institutional buildings. The shielding helps maintain network stability in environments with electrical noise from motors, fluorescent lighting, or power lines.
