Cat6A Bulk Wire — DataMax CMR • Stranded • F/UTP • Spline • 500 MHz
Bulk Network Cable • Riser Rated (CMR) • Foil Shielded (F/UTP) • 10G-Ready Build
DataMax Cat6A bulk cable built for higher-speed links and cleaner installs in riser spaces. The F/UTP foil shield helps reduce EMI/RFI, while the spline separator improves pair geometry for more consistent performance. Rated to 500 MHz and designed for professional terminations and structured cabling runs.
Why these installs fail
- Poor shield practices — foil not properly bonded/grounded can create noise, not reduce it.
- Over-bending & kinks — tight radii distort pair geometry and increase return loss.
- Bad terminations — untwist/strip length and inconsistent punch-downs kill headroom.
- Mixed components — patch cords/jacks not matched to Cat6A can bottleneck the channel.
Our solution
- Cat6A geometry control — spline separator helps maintain pair separation under pull/route stress.
- EMI-aware construction — F/UTP shield supports cleaner links in dense racks and electrical environments.
- Installer-friendly bulk — ideal for field terminations, patch panel builds, and structured cabling runs.

Service & Coverage
Need this cut to length, labeled, or bundled for a build? We can supply bulk cable alongside compatible terminations and patch components to keep your channel consistent end-to-end.
🛠️
Install Tip: Keep bend radius generous, avoid crushing the jacket, and bond the shield correctly (especially in noisy electrical environments) to get the benefit of F/UTP.
☎️
Tech Support: Tell us your pathway (riser/plenum), shielding needs, and target application (switch-to-switch, patch panel, AV, etc.) and we’ll help you match the right jacks/patch cords for a consistent Cat6A channel.
