What This Cable Is
The cat6a bulk cable 1000ft is a standard North American bulk package for Cat6a. The length is 1000 feet, or 305 meters. One reel fits one standard data center module or one office floor. It uses 23AWG solid bare copper and an S/FTP shield structure. The standard flame rating is CM. This product is good for horizontal cabling and permanent data center links. It supports 500MHz and 10Gbps within 100 meters.
Where It Fits
Buyers first check the project scale. This cat6a bulk cable 1000ft fits data center horizontal cabling bulk purchase. It fits commercial office 10G network full-reel laying. It fits campus backbone construction materials. It fits large weak current project stock. It also fits all Cat6a permanent links built to TIA/EIA standards. This product works with shielded RJ45 modules and shielded patch panels. The table below shows the main fit points.

Technical Specifications
The cat6a bulk cable 1000ft uses 23AWG solid bare copper. DC resistance stays below 7.5Ω/100m. Insertion loss and return loss meet TIA/EIA-568-C.2 at 500MHz. The shield uses individual aluminum foil plus overall braid. The braid uses tinned copper. Coverage is ≥65%. This keeps anti-interference performance at 10G. Outer diameter is 7.8mm ± 0.3mm. It is thicker and harder than Cat5e. It needs more bending space in conduit. Each reel uses a high-precision meter counter. Length error stays within ±0.5%. The reel is high-impact plastic. It resists damage in transport and on site. The cable leaves about 2 meters of test tail outside. This lets you test before full use. Each reel is tested for continuity, insulation, and key 500MHz electrical performance. Test data is traceable.

How to Choose the Right Model
Buyers often need flame rating and color options for the cat6a bulk cable 1000ft. We support CM, CMR, and CMP jacket options. Blue is the standard stock color. Other colors need 50 boxes. The jacket can print your brand and meter marks. The outer box label can be neutral or your brand. Large orders can use 500m or 1000m wooden reel packages. This reduces joints during installation. This product is a good choice for data center and office 10G projects. Samples ship in 7 working days. Bulk orders take 15 working days.
Quality Testing and OEM Support
We test each reel of product for continuity, insulation, and key 500MHz electrical performance. The product meets TIA/EIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA. We use a high-precision meter counter. Length error stays within ±0.5%. For OEM orders, you can customize flame rating, color, print, label, and packaging. If you need a quote, send us your flame rating, color, length, and order quantity.
FAQ
Q1: Does the shield layer of cat6a bulk cable 1000ft need special handling during installation?
A1: Yes. After stripping, the shield layer needs enough length. It must connect well with the ground clip of the shielded patch panel or module. Be careful not to scratch the foil or braid with the stripping tool. This affects shield continuity. Each box includes a shield termination guide.
Q2: Is 1000ft too long to move around?
A2: 1000 feet, or 305 meters, is a common size for North American and domestic data center projects. Each reel weighs about 14 kg with packaging. One adult can move and handle it. If the site is tight, such as a narrow shaft, we can also provide 500ft, about 152m, packages. MOQ is 50 reels.
