CAT6 Shielded Cable 1000ft - 24AWG Stranded Bare Copper, CM Rated

Power your indoor network with our CAT6 Shielded Stranded Bulk Ethernet Cable, engineered for interference-free Gigabit performance in high-noise environments. Featuring flexible 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, a full-foil shield with a tinned-copper drain wire, and a flame-retardant CM PVC jacket, this cable delivers reliable voice, data, video, and security connectivity for hospitals, factories, and dense wiring closets where both EMI protection and cable flexibility are essential.

Designed for installations requiring both shielding and flexibility, this stranded shielded cable combines EMI/RFI blocking with the bendability needed for custom patch cables and equipment connections. The foil shield with tinned-copper drain wire eliminates interference in high-noise environments, while the stranded copper construction offers superior flexibility for tight bends and frequent movement. Tested to 550MHz and exceeding ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, it's ETL-verified and compliant with CSA and ISO/IEC 11801 for professional-grade performance.
