Bulk Ethernet Cabling — Cat6 & Cat6A Riser, Plenum & Shielded Spools
Resilient Tec's Bulk Ethernet Cabling collection has everything you need for structured copper cabling installations. Whether you're running cables through walls, above drop ceilings, or through conduit, we carry Cat6 and Cat6A bulk spools in CMR riser, CMP plenum, and STP shielded configurations. All cables are UL-listed, meet TIA-568 specifications, and are stocked ready to ship.
Bulk Cable Types at a Glance
| Cable | Rating | Speed | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat6 CMR (10X821TH) | Riser (CMR) | 1G @ 100m | Between-floor, in-wall runs in non-plenum spaces |
| Cat6A CMR (10X6614) | Riser (CMR) | 10G @ 100m | 10G-ready structured cabling, future-proofed installs |
| Cat6 CMP Plenum (10X8-424TH-NS) | Plenum (CMP) | 1G @ 100m | Air-handling spaces, drop ceilings — fire code required |
| Cat6 STP Stranded (10X8-564TH-S) | Shielded (STP) | 1G @ 100m | High-EMI environments, industrial or near power runs |
CMR vs. CMP vs. STP — Which Jacket Do I Need?
CMR (Riser-rated) cable is safe for vertical runs between floors inside walls or conduit. It's the most common choice for office and data center structured cabling where the run doesn't pass through an air-handling plenum space. Our Cat6 CMR and Cat6A CMR spools come in 1,000ft lengths for full-floor pull jobs.
CMP (Plenum-rated) cable uses a special low-smoke, fire-retardant jacket required by building codes when cables are run through air-handling spaces like drop ceilings or raised floors used for HVAC. If your run goes above a drop ceiling in a commercial building, CMP is typically mandated by local fire code.
STP (Shielded) cable includes a foil shield around the conductors, dramatically reducing crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. STP is the right choice for environments near heavy electrical equipment, motor rooms, industrial floors, or anywhere EMI is a concern.
